Connecting to outlook mail

Post by segmentlime »

I am trying to setup so i can send emails from the admin, and i am trying to set it up to use and outlook.com email. I was trying to set it up as SMTP. Is this right?

I have set the email server to smtp-mail.outlook.com and host port for 587. The MS doc says "Outlook.com requires the use of Modern Auth / OAuth2. Basic auth is in the process of being deprecated from the Outlook.com service." So I am not sure if they are still supporting basic auth. Are you using basic auth?

MS doc says the SMTP encryption is "STARTTLS" - should i then enable "Secure connection" setting and make sure the TLS files are available?

It seems like something I am doing in this is not working. When i try, I get a dialog with errors:

Error: Error connecting with SSL
error: 1408F10B: SSL
routines: SSL3_GET_RECORD: wrong version number

Any suggestions?

If I can get the email setup going is their a way to add all players to an email list other than one at a time?

Last, failing this for now and I need to send an email from another email client, is there a way to export all account emails at once or would i need to export or copy one at a time?

As always, your support is most appreciated and thank you for this.

The Indy SMTP component I use does not support OAuth. The only reliable method I've used is with a gmail account and their app password feature as described in item 6 in the FAQ (https://www.briggsoft.com/pmfaq.htm#q6)

Click the "All" button below the grid on the Accounts tab, then click the Export button.
