Thank you.

I used that data to configure the outgoing server. The only thing I remember now that was different from what I wrote is the kind of server, which (may be a wrong memory!) was STARTTLS (which is needed by the outlook server, from what I have read somewhere). > Also, what version of K-9, and (less important) Android release, are > you using? > I have installed it only a few days ago, and from F-droid. So, by looking at its page there now, I guess it is "Version 5.007 - Added on 2015-11-29". I'll confirm this on a future message, but it's pretty much guaranteed.
