Unable to Email Using Hotmail & Webmail Feature in Reckon Accounts Desktop

ISSUE

When trying to email in Reckon Accounts Desktop using the Webmail feature with a Hotmail email address, I get the following error message:

ANSWER

Hotmail have updated their server name and the default one that was previously provided is now outdated.

SOLUTION

  1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Send Forms > My Preferences
  2. Update the "Server Name" to smtp.office365.com or smtp-mail.outlook.com
  3. The "Port" can be left as 25 OR it can also be updated to 587
  4. Click OK
  5. Try emailing again and it should be successful
