Select the check box [v] My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
And select (o) Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
Step 8: Click Advanced tab and enter the following values:
Incoming server(POP3): 995
Select [v] This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
Click [ OK ] and Click [ Next ] and this will test incoming/outgoing server for email and finish setting up the account in Outlook 2013.
