Outlook SMTP Settings

Outlook SMTP Settings SMTP is an abbreviation for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is an Internet standard for sending and receiving email messages. However, most mail clients only use SMTP to send messages.

When you configure an email client, the SMTP server settings tell the program where to send your outgoing mail, the authorization information required for the transaction, and the type of security required when connecting.
