    For an Outlook.com account in Xfinity or another mail app, use these manual settings:

    • Incoming server (IMAP): outlook.office365.com
    • Incoming port: 993 or 143
    • Encryption for incoming: SSL
    • Username: full Outlook.com email address
    • Outgoing server (SMTP): smtp.office365.com
    • Outgoing port: typically 587
    • Encryption for outgoing: SSL/TLS
    • SMTP username: full Outlook.com email address
    • SMTP password: Outlook.com account password

    If the account is being added in the Gmail app on Android using Exchange-style setup for an Outlook.com address, the documented server values are:

    • Server: eas.outlook.com
    • Port: 443 or 993
    • Security type: SSL/TLS
    • SMTP server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    • SMTP port: 587
    • Security type: TLS

    If setup still fails, verify the port numbers and encryption type exactly in the account settings, then run the account test. If the test shows red markers, the settings are incorrect and need to be corrected.
