What are the SMPT outgoing server settings required to send an email via windows outlook, I am using an EE sim card unlimited data in a TP-LINK Router to create a Wi-Fi in a rural location but cant seem to send emails via my email provider which is livemail.co.uk. Can anyone advise what server I need to get through this block.

@morgan48 : Email settings for livemail.co.uk :

Incoming POP3 Server: Username: Mailbox username, this will be the same as your email address.
 Password: Mailbox password. This is the same password you chose when
you created your mailbox.
 Server: mail.livemail.co.uk.
 Security type: SSL.
 Port: 995.
Incoming IMAP Server: Username: Mailbox username, this will be the same as your email address.
 Password: Mailbox password. This is the same password you chose when
you created your mailbox.
 Server: mail.livemail.co.uk.
 Security type: SSL.
 Port: 993.
 IMAP path prefix: Leave this blank.
Outgoing SMTP Server: Server: smtp.livemail.co.uk.
 Security type: SSL.
 Port: 587.
 Use same settings as Incoming Server.

Thanks for the Information,

I tried what you said and windows is blocking the message as I cant set
the port in this windows 10. So the only way I can send any email is to
go and log into the actual mail server site and send this message from
there, but I guess its windows outlook gave me an error message and
placed the message in draft.

Its a windows message detail below
We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts
folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the
address is correct and that no attachments are too large.

Any thoughts on this aspect or how to prevent windows doing this and how
can I set the port or is it best to simply dump the windows mail.
.

Thanks

Which version of Outlook are you using?

Show me the settings in Outlook under More Settings ... > Advanced.

Here are the settings attached which is all I have access to, it is a windows mail in Windows 10 not exactly user friendly.

The email is version 16005.14326.20970.0

Ah, you are not using Outlook but Windows 10 Mail.

Tick the 2 boxes "Outgoing server requires auth" & "Requires SSL for incoming".

Where's the page with the port nos. settings?

I don't seem to have access to a page with port settings on it. The incoming appears to be working OK its just the outgoing server that is the problem.

Cheers
