Every e-mail provider can use a different combo for authentication/
configuration/port but you have to stick to what Outlook Live service
needs. I mean, what Gmail needs it cannot work for Yahoo! or Hotmail or...

Let's start from the basics. What are the configuration settings needed
for the Outlook Live service? Have you followed (or is there) any guided

SMTP setup starts at point 6, so carefully check all the steps and try
