Your best bet would probably be setting up an account on www.360.com primarily for the use of their smtp server. Once you've set up an account, you can then use smtp.360.com (along with the username and password used on setup) on whichever program you're using to send emails (Outlook etc.).

Alternatively, you can set up for a Gmail account or something similar and use their outgoing server.

Hi Dazlicous.

It looks like ElCapitan has beaten me to the punch. Thanks ElCapitan!!

I would suggest setting up a 360 account and using that.

all the best

Hey there Dazlicous (great name btw B-)

Yes! You can use your outgoing Hotmail server, but you may find success in sending rather erratic - we've noticed that some users have no problem, whilst the vast majority will. We've alerted Microsoft of this many times, but te situation is that the Hotmail servers do often recognise our IP's as spam, and disregard all mail connections from us. This is why we recommend using our alternate SMTP's instead.

Let us know how you get on, and if we can help further!

Try without spa and from "advanced" tab enter 465 as port and select ssl

i still can't get it to send email from a ntlworld email address with the settings above just says error

hi Dazilicious

Thanks for getting back to us, I’m afraid I may be joining the conversation a little late and am equally out of additional ideas concerning getting the ntl email to work, :(

The earlier suggestion (by ElCaptain) is worth noting though as Gmail has the ability to 'import mail' and send as specified accounts, in this case, as your ntl address, this can be found in the Gmail settings panel.

Alternatively trying to setup the email address from scratch is worth a try. (in outlook).

Thanks
