The AI Answer covers how to change the SMTP settings in Classic Outlook. Do these instructions fit the Outlook client you are using/

Are you able to perform this change, but then the email host is giving you an invalid password error?

If you are still having this problem, please respond with the domain (the part after the "@") of the email address you are working with and any other details you can provide on the error you are seeing.

Answer 2

For classic Outlook on Windows, update the outgoing server settings through Mail in Control Panel:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Open Mail.
3. Select Email Accounts.
4. Select the account, then choose Change.
5. Verify the Incoming mail server and Outgoing mail server values match the settings from the email provider.
6. Under Logon Information, verify the User Name and Password are correct.
7. Select More Settings > Advanced.
8. Compare the Outgoing server (SMTP) port number and encryption type with the provider’s required settings, then correct them if needed.
9. Select OK, then Test Account Settings.

If the SMTP password still fails:

• If the password was changed recently on the email provider’s website, update it in Outlook as well.
• If the provider uses two-factor authentication, Outlook may require the generated passcode or an app password instead of the regular password.
• If classic Outlook keeps prompting for the password, confirm Caps Lock is off and the username is the full email address.
• For SMTP send failures, also check More Settings > Outgoing Server and enable My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication, using the same settings as the incoming mail server.
• If Test Account Settings shows red markers, the settings are still incorrect and the email provider must verify the correct SMTP server, port, encryption, and password method.

If Outlook 2016 is being used and the password contains Unicode characters such as ä, ö, or ü, authentication can fail with IMAP. Change the password so it does not contain Unicode characters.
