Does anyone know the current configuration settings for setting up Microsoft Outlook (SMTP server and Port)? I am having trouble finding current documentation online.

I have used smtp.live.com as the server and port 587. When I try to send out a test email with debugging turned on I receive this error:

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

I have successfully sent out a test email using a gmail smtp server and mailbox credentials, so that leads me to believe that my module and phpmailer are installed correctly.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a possible setting on the outlook mailbox that needs to be configured?

Thanks in advance!

Open the Control Panel.
In Control Panel, search for and open the Mail icon.
On the Mail Setup - Outlook window, click Email Accounts
On the Account Settings window, select the account you're trying to troubleshoot and select Change.
On the Change Account window, check the Incoming mail server and Outgoing mail server settings against those from your email provider or the reference article. If it's different, update the settings.
Under Logon Information, verify you're using the correct User Name and Password associated with your email account.
Click More Settings
On the Internet Email Settings window, select the Advanced tab.
Under Server Port Numbers, compare the Incoming server (IMAP) and Outgoing server (SMTP) numbers to those provided by your email provider or from the reference article. If they don't match, manually change them.
Additionally, compare the encryption types (next to Use the following type of encrypted connection) for both Incoming and Outgoing servers as well and, if they don't match, manually change them.
Click OK, and then click Test Account Settings on the Change Account window.
On the Test Account Settings window, check if you have green check marks or red markers
