Normally you use the STARTTLS, not the SSL/TLS, "Security" setting used in the "answers.ms" posting with port 587. [You would almost never use SSL/TLS on port 25 - which is very frequently blocked anyways.] The SSL/TLS option assumes that the server is doing encryption from the start while STARTTLS negotiates things. I do believe that K-9's STARTTLS's settings were changed last fall to require encryption (rather than making it option) on the server side, but since the documentation indicates TLS that shouldn't be an issue.
The actual protocol negotiation may fail if, for instance, the server side only offers a lower level than the client is willing to accept. I can't tell whether you used STARTTLS or SSL/TLS initially, but if the former, a protocol mismatch may be the issue. [ultimately, your bigger problems are that you are using pop (and hotmail).] > Date: Sunday, August 30, 2015 07:48:19 -0700 > From: [email protected] > > I continue my search and also found this thread on another site > from some time back: > > http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oemail-oapps/ > imap-smtp-error-setting-up-in-android/a5dc7b79-d1f9-4887-8a1d-a75c > bc79c878?auth=1 > > > > On Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 10:29:28 AM UTC-5, > [email protected] wrote: > >> I'm trying to set up my Hotmail accounts with the following on an >> Android Galaxy Note Edge: >> >> Incoming (POP3) Server >> >> - >> >> Server address: pop-mail.outlook.com >> - >> >> Port: 995 >> - >> >> Encrypted Connection: SSL >> >> - >> >> Outgoing (SMTP) Server >> >> - >> >> Server address: smtp-mail.outlook.com >> - >> >> Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked) >> - >> >> Authentication: Yes >> - >> >> Encrypted Connection: TLS >> >> - >> >> User name: my email address >> - >> >> Password: my email password >> >> I know for sure that the email/password combo is correct, but I >> am getting the error that Setup couldn't finish as >> authentication failed on POP and handshake failed on SMTP. >> >> Anyone else seen this and have any ideas? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
