@charles - thanks i was able to get outlook to authenticate from outlook. i had to check outgoing and incoming use the same. when configured separately it didn't work - go figure.
tested and worked with ssl on port 25 and 995. thanks again. i need to look more into dovecot... one thing for sure this list is very eager to help. the community is what makes a project successful imho.
