Hi all
I can receive emails - but not send them. However with any other client (e.g. Mac Mail, Thunderbird etc) I can send and receive.
I have tried changing outgoing email ports to 587, 80, 20 to no avail.
Quite disappointed with this issue - and would like to use outlook - if it could only work.
At the moment my outgoing email is smtpout.asia.securerserver.net (same as my incoming). It used to work then just stopped about a week ago. The Microsoft help desk said to verify and change my outlook 365 mail password (not sure why they said this - but still didn't fix the problem. I replied on the ticket help desk but they have ignored it.
Th error message is usually "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." but sometimes (and more recently) "An unknown error has occurred in Outlook."
Why would the other mail platforms work - but not this outlook?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated as microsoft have not answer my response to their tickets (ticket #
Cheers

Split from an unrelated thread 
Directions to add a "Reply-To:" field to the header of an outgoing email in Outlook For Mac 2011, do not correspond to the UI on the installation I am using, 14.3.9 131030 (incredibly, I had to enter that info by writing it down since the "About Outlook" window DISAPPEARS when the screen focus changes from Outlook!).
Instructions say that an option to specify this field will be found in the "View" drop-down while composing the email, but all I find are totally irrelevant choices like "Reading Pane" and "Media Browser". These inappropriate UI elements make me skeptical that this capability exists in Outlook. Perhaps if I scp the email body to ArchLinux on my Raspberry Pi and use "mail" there I can perform this exotic task....

My Windows Live email suddenly will not attach documents in their correct format. With all types of files (Word, PDF, Excel), which I try to attach to an email, it shows up as a blank page in my "Sent Items", which I cannot open again, and the receiver of the email does not receive the attached document.
It first happened yesterday that I did not receive an attachment in a group email sent to me. When it was sent in an individual email, I did receive the attachment. Right after this, I was not able to send out my attachments in the correct format.
I can use my Hotmail address online, and attach documents correctly that way, but Windows Live is the only problem. I don't think there was any automatic update before it happened.
I have researched this problem online in the forums, and seen a reference to a Sept. 2013 Windows Update, but I don't think that is related, because my computer does updates all the time, and this has not happened before. I have seen lots of other people say they had the same problem, but nobody gave a solution in which others said that it solved the problem.
I'd appreciate some step by step instructions as to how to resolve this issue.
Thanks!
Suddenly unable to send any outgoing email.
I am a Time Warner Cable subscriber. For the last two days, I have been on the phone and live chat with TWC attempting to resolve the issue. After TWC tech support led me through a reconfiguring of email settings, the problem was resolved....or so I thought. That was yesterday 16 Jan.
As of this morning, 17 Jan, I could send email. As of 1300 I could no longer send any email.
Each attempt to send resulted in receiving an error message stating:
This message could not be sent. The setting for your outgoing email (SMTP) server might need to be reconfigured. To find the server settings for ********@roadrunner.com please contact your email service provider.
Subject TEST

TWC then suggested calling the Microsoft support @ 800-642-7676...they in turn suggested I use this venue.
So, how do I fix the problem.
