Use these settings with PDF.co’s [Send Email API](/api/email/send) to send emails with or without attachments through your Outlook account. You can call the API directly or use PDF.co’s integrations with Zapier and Make. See Reference Material below for integration guides.

## SMTP Server Details

* **SMTP Server/Host:** `smtp-mail.outlook.com`
* **SMTP Port:** `587`

## Authentication Information

* **SMTP User Name:** Your Outlook email address (e.g., `yourname@outlook.com`).
* **SMTP Password:** Your Outlook password.

## Additional Information

* SMTP connection with Outlook requires the use of TLS encryption on port 587. Make sure your email client or application is configured to start TLS encryption when sending emails.
* It’s important to check that your Outlook account has SMTP access enabled and that you may need to use two-factor authentication (2FA) and an app-specific password, depending on your account’s security settings.
