  • Server: outlook.office365.com
  • Port: 993
  • Encryption Method: SSL

Outgoing SMTP server

  • Server name: smtp.office365.com
  • Port: 587
  • Encryption method: TLS

More information about these settings can be found at http://go.middlebury.edu/smtp.

Settings for sending through your Midd account from GMail:

  • SMTP Server: ssmtp.middlebury.edu

  • Password: yourpassword
  • Always use a secure connection (SSL) when sending mail: No
  • Port: 25

According to the docs it will use TLS encryption by default rather than SSL.
