If you had selected POP3 on the previous page, the port would be 995. We are showing 993 here because we chose IMAP. Under Outgoing server, change the encrypted connection to TLS. You may need to type in the port number 587 if it doesn't change automatically.

  8. Now click on the Outgoing Server tab at the top of the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SCREEN IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS! It may look different depending on whether you've chosen POP3 or IMAP. But the important thing remains the same: Always choose My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. And you have a choice at this point. Either click Use same settings as incoming mail server or type everything in under Log on using. We have chosen to fill this out to demonstrate what it looks like.
