Hello,
I'm using self-signed certificates, but my CA public key is imported.
I checked the logs and was getting an error about no authentication which is probably why it was failing. I then switched to 587 and 993 ports and now it works, but it's very intermediant, sometimes it works, other times not.
If there's a better free windows email client, (please not thunderbird), that doesn't have these Microsoft-isms i'd appreciate knowing about it.
Thanks. Dave.
99% of all the problems I have witnessed with a Windows based MUA is due to a firewall misconfiguration. Check there first. Also, check the official documentation for the application, etc. Outlook.com uses 587 and 993 by default, assuming an IMAP connection. Please see this URL for complete instructions.
