Hi
I used to be able to use a Hotmail (now outlook.com) account with Outlook 2013 x64 using the SMTP settings as follows
SMTP Server:
smtp.live.com
Port 587
Type of encrypted connection: TLS
This used to work fine until now and there is another account (non-hotmail, non Microsoft) using the same settings and still works. The Hotmail account cannot send anymore. Reception still works.
Sending an email with the Hotmail account fails.
In Outlook when testing the account settings, I get:
Send test e-mail message: The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues , contact your server administrator or internet service provider (ISP).
In Outlook when sending, I get:
Task '...(at)hotmail.com - Sending reported error (0x800CCC0F) : The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
Windows 8 Pro x64
Outlook 2013 x64
Internet Options (Internet Explorer)
unchecked: SSL 2.0
checked: SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 TLS 1.2
Tried without success:
Disabling the Windows Firewall
I thought I was related to Schannel Event ID 36871 but it doesn't seem to be.
The cause of this error is that I applied the SCM (Security Compliance Manager) Windows 8 baseline that changed a bunch of Group policy settings but I dont know which one is causing the SSL error.
I need help with tracing the error please.
