IMAP SMTP Error Setting up in Android

I get the following error message when I attempt to setup outlook.com on my Android 4.2.2 tablet. Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong. I had no problem with the incoming server setup but the outgoing keeps giving me this message:


Couldn’t finish

Can’t safely connect to server.

(javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted:

Ssl=0x59e6e508: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error

error: 140770FC:SSL

routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

(external/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:766 0x5a792b62:0x00000000))


I am using the following settings:


·  Incoming IMAP

  • Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
  • Server port: 993
  • Encryption: SSL/TLS

·  Outgoing SMTP

  • Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
  • Server port: 587
  • Encryption:  SSL/TLS
