Outlook365 supports access via IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocols. Below you can find the configuration settings for all protocols.

Latest Office 365 version

For latest Office 365 after the service upgrade, use the following settings:

IMAP

Server: outlook.office365.com
SSL: true-implicit, true-explicit (StartTLS)
Port: 993 (default), 143 (default)
User: pat@domain.onmicrosoft.com or pat@your-domain.com

POP3

Server: outlook.office365.com
SSL: true-implicit, true-explicit (StartTLS)
Port: 995 (default), 110 (default)
User: pat@domain.onmicrosoft.com or pat@your-domain.com

SMTP

Server: smtp.office365.com
SSL: true-explicit (StartTLS)
Port: 587(default)
User: pat@domain.onmicrosoft.com or pat@your-domain.com

IMAP and POP3 servers allow both: implicit/TLS SSL and explicit SSL/TLS, so you can ConnectSSL method -or- Connect and StartTLS.

SMTP server requires explicit SSL – use Connect and StartTLS method.

// C#

using (Imap client = new Imap())
{
    client.ConnectSSL("outlook.office365.com");
    client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password");
    ...
}

using (Pop3 client = new Pop3())
{
    client.ConnectSSL("outlook.office365.com");
    client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password");
    ...
}

using (Smtp client = new Smtp ())
{
    client.Connect("smtp.office365.com");
    client.StartTLS();

    client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password");
    ...
}

' VB.NET

Using client As New Imap()
	client.ConnectSSL("outlook.office365.com")
	client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password")
	...
End Using

Using client As New Pop3()
	client.ConnectSSL("outlook.office365.com")		
	client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password")
	...
End Using

Using client As New Smtp()
	client.Connect("smtp.office365.com")
	client.StartTLS()

	client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password")
	...
End Using

Office 365 pre-upgrade

For latest Office 365 pre-upgrade, use the following settings:

On the main screen go to “Options” / “See All Options…”:

Now click the “Settings for POP, IMAP, and SMTP access…” link:

You can find POP, SMTP and IMAP server addresses and settings on the popup window:

Office365 uses default ports for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocols. That means that you don’t need to remember port numbers, as Mail.dll .NET email component is going to use correct port numbers by default.

IMAP

Server: podXXXX.outlook.com
SSL: true-implicit
Port: 993 (default)
User: pat@domain.onmicrosoft.com or pat@your-domain.com

POP3

Server: podXXXX.outlook.com
SSL: true-implicit
Port: 995 (default)
User: pat@domain.onmicrosoft.com or pat@your-domain.com

SMTP

Server: podXXXX.outlook.com
SSL: true-explicit
Port: 587 (default)
User: pat@domain.onmicrosoft.com or pat@your-domain.com

IMAP and POP3 servers use implicit SSL – use ConnectSSL method. SMTP server requires explicit SSL – use Connect and StartTLS method.

// C#

using (Imap client = new Imap())
{
    client.ConnectSSL("podXXXX.outlook.com");
    client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password");
    ...
}

using (Pop3 client = new Pop3())
{
    client.ConnectSSL("podXXXX.outlook.com");
    client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password");
    ...
}

using (Smtp client = new Smtp ())
{
    client.Connect("podXXXX.outlook.com");
    client.StartTLS();

    client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password");
    ...
}

' VB.NET

Using client As New Imap()
	client.ConnectSSL("podXXXX.outlook.com")
	client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password")
	...
End Using

Using client As New Pop3()
	client.ConnectSSL("podXXXX.outlook.com")		
	client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password")
	...
End Using

Using client As New Smtp()
	client.Connect("podXXXX.outlook.com")
	client.StartTLS()

	client.UseBestLogin("user@domain.onmicrosoft.com", "password")
	...
End Using
