Hello, I cannot send email as hotmail.com from gmail since today (9am Madrid time). I think the SMTP protocols might change. Is there anyone who knows the new configuration? It used to be smtp-mail.outlook.com. Thanks

    Hi there! If you cannot send emails from Gmail using your Hotmail account, Microsoft’s official SMTP settings are smtp-mail.outlook.com with port 587 and STARTTLS encryption. You need to use your full Hotmail email as the username and your account password for authentication.

    Make sure Gmail is set to use these settings and that no firewall or security software is blocking the connection.
