Desktop system  |  Windows 7 Ultimate  |  Outlook 2013  |  Verizon as ISP

I finally migrated over to MS Outlook 2013 and setup my email accounts: outlook.com and a verizon.net. Even though I purchased the software a while ago, I just now decided to cut over from Live Mail to Outlook. 

Problem - I can receive emails, but cannot send emails. When I send an email from Verizon.net account a message comes back instantaneously "System Administrator, Undeliverable". When I send a message from outlook.com account, it simply stays in my Outbox like a dead fish.

Verified with Verizon that their settings are OK and everything working fine on their end. I have Norton Antivirus and chatted with someone there and it doesn't seem to be anything on their end.

Here are my details for verizon.net account setup:

Account Type: POP3

Incoming mail server: pop.verizon.net

Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net

Check mark on "Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)

Outgoing server tab - Check on "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication", check on "Use same settings as my incoming mail server"

Advanced tab - Incoming server {POP3) = 995, check on "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL), Outgoing server (SMTP) = 465, Use the following type of encrypted connection = SSL

Can someone please help? Greatly appreciate it.
