So it’s a little annoying, you’re out and about and your e-mail works great, then you get home and you can send but you can’t receive mail. In my case I own my own web-server so I want to at least receive e-mail using my favorite mail client.
The error message
Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server
The Solution
Here’s what I did in outlook.
- Open Outlook
- Select Tools >> Options
- Select the Mail Setup tab
- Select E-Mail Accounts
- On the e-mail accounts screen double click on your preferred e-mail account
- On the account screen click More Settings after specifying your account information.
- Check My outgoing server (smtp) requires authentication then enter log on using and enter your internet provider’s mail server name (probably mail.mymailprovider.xxx)
