Hello,

 

I am helping out a friend with a problem he is having with his Outlook email. 

Outlook works fine (sending/receiving) when connected to his home network.

 

When away from this network, it will send emails but not receive them.

 

To test, I made a hot spot on my phone, connected to that, and sent him an email. Nothing came through. While still connected to the hotspot, I sent myself an email from his Outlook and received it instantly. Tried testing again by replying to it, but Outlook never got it.

 

As soon as I disconnected the hotspot and reconnected to his home network, all the emails came through.

 

I have done some googling and checked all the obvious problems, and nothing is working.

 

 

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

When not on their home network, try changing the SMTP port to 465.
