Configuring Microsoft Outlook - SMTP Authentication

If you have a laptop set to use Outlook, when you travel, you may find that you are able to receive emails, but can not send emails. This page explains how to allow Outlook to send emails whether you're at home on the Aledo BroadBand network or away at a hotel or office. 

1. Open Microsoft Outlook and click on Tools -> Accounts

2. In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click on the Mail tab. This will show you a list of your existing mail accounts. If you don't have an email account listed, you need to create one. Click here. Otherwise, select the account you wish to modify and click on the Properties button.
3. The "Servers" Tab

This screen determines how Outlook will fetch and send your email. If you do not have this filled in already, click here.

If the "My server requires authentication" option is NOT selected, you will not be able to send emails when you are outside of the Aledo BroadBand network. If you are at a hotel, office or hotspot and their system allows your laptop to receive emails but not send emails, then you'll need to check the "My server requires authentication" option.

Once you've selected this option, press OK.

Repeat this process for any additional email accounts you may have.
