Troubleshooting

If Outlook fails to connect to the account, go through the steps again and ensure you have not made any typos.

The most common error is mistyping the host name: mail.b.hostedemail.com

Remember that you must enter the same host name in both the incoming and outgoing settings.

Doublecheck the incoming and outgoing Port and make sure they are set to SSL/TLS.
