Hotmail on N900

[lordfury007]

Just got a new N900 today and am currently setting my email accounts up, however hotmail doesn't like sending emails for some reason

I've searched these forums and the one set of settings i can find is only working for incoming mail. The settings i'm currently using are:

Title: Hotmail
Tick: Leave messages on server
Name: (my name)
username: (my email address@hotmail.com)
password: (my password)
email address: (my email address@hotmail.com)
Incoming Server (POP3): pop3.live.com
Tick: Secure Authentication
Secure Connection: SSL (POP3S)
Port: 995
Outgoing server (SMTP): smtp.live.com
Secure Authentication: Login
Username: (my email address@hotmail.com)
Password (my password)
Secure Connection: Normal (TLS)
Port: 25
No Tick: Use connection specific SMTP servers

Is there any fault in there? As i said, i can recieve emails but cannot send emails.

The error i recieve is "Unable to connecto to SMTP server smtp.live.com. Check that your network has access to the server"

Thanks in advance for any and all help

The outgoing connection I have (and working) is 587 rather than 25. Do you need to use connection specific SMTP servers?

Thanks Fargus. Worked first time with that new port number - And I left the Connection specific SMPT servers unticked.
