Outlook 365 - Gmail SMTP

Good evening everyone.
Here's my problem: my university provides us with a personal email address that can be accessed through Outlook 365 Webmail. I would like to configure my own Gmail address to send emails through my university account, through SMTP. I followed the instructions,
started the Gmail wizard, correctly filled the blank spaces (address, username, password, smtp server and port - smtp.office365.com
/ 587 TLS) but when Gmail tries to send a confirmation email, I get an error : "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: Technical
details of permanent failure: DNS Error: Address resolution.
failed: DNS server returned answer with no data".
Anyone knows if there's any solution?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on the description, you are configuring the Gmail account to send emails via the Office 365 account, it's basically not an Office client issue, to get the specific support on the problem, better to post the question in Office 365 Community forum:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx

Configuring SMTP Email Notification on WSUS server When using Outlook 365

We have a SMTP relay set up on a different server. I have tried to set up email notifications from WSUS server. I get the following error when trying to test. We are using Outlook 365. I've tried using ports 25 and 587 respectively. Any ides? Thanks in advance!

System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection
You cannot email from a WSUS server direct to an O365 SMTP server, because the O365 SMTP Server *requires* a TLS-authenticated/encrypted connection and WSUS does not support TLS sessions. You'll need to have WSUS sent to an unencrypted onsite SMTP relay that
has the ability to initiate a TLS relay connection to O365.

Problem Importing Contacts from CSV to Outlook 365 Home Premium

I have exported contacts from gmail to Outlook CSV format, unable to import to Outlook 365. Error suggests:
There was a problem importing your contacts.
Phone numbers and websites can only contain English characters (a-z or A-Z), numbers (0-9), and specific symbols (such as @). Please try again.
I exported from Outlook 365 a CSV file and column by column copy/value pasted the data from the gmail generated file to the Outlook 365 (People) CSV and saved. I also searched for any such vaguely referenced trouble spot character and removed anything
that feel out of description (I didn't find anything obvious)
characters left in place on emails were (underscore _), characters left in several phone numbers were (comma's , (pause prompts)). I may have a phone number or 2 that also contain the English character "x".
Please help

Hi,
Make sure you exported the Gmail contacts as Outlook CSV format.
In addition, you can also try exporting the contacts as the vCard format, test if it can be imported into Outlook properly.
If you deleted the column of phone, import the contacts into Outlook, will the same error show up?
If you have an Outlook.com account, you can try import the contacts to Outlook.com, create the Outlook.com account in Outlook, after the contacts sync completes, move the contacts to the target account.

Thunderbird fails to gmail smtp - ssl_error_inappropriate_fallback_alert

I've a new install on an a work XP machine. The same install version on a home XP machine does not have the same problem with the same gmail accounts.
On the work machine with a clean install of 31.3.0 thunderbird, I cannot use gmail smtp services. Other smtp services to yahoo and my own domain work properly.
The error log;
Timestamp: 1/7/2015 8:01:35 AM
Error: An error occurred during a connection to smtp.googlemail.com:465.
The server rejected the handshake because the client downgraded to a lower TLS version than the server supports.
(Error code: ssl_error_inappropriate_fallback_alert)
Following the guide for a firefox issue I followed the recommendation to modify the "security.tls.version.min"
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1038836
For values 0 and 1, the same error log appears. For values 2 and 3 no error log is written to the error console yet sending mail still fails with;
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent using SMTP server smtp.googlemail.com for an unknown reason. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact your network administrator
Any thoughts?

On the same work machine I can add the gmail account into MS Outlook, sending to googlemail.com:465 or gmail.com:465 work properly.
Also tried switching Thunderbird to use ports 587 and 25. When using either of these ports thunderbird takes a minute, then fails to connect to the remote server. Error log get this written;
Timestamp: 1/7/2015 8:34:31 AM
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIMsgMailNewsUrl.server]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: resource:///modules/activity/alertHook.js :: alertHook.onAlert :: line 48" data: no]
Source File: resource:///modules/activity/alertHook.js
Line: 48
I can't be certain if it is a corporate firewall issue or not. They may pinhole the ports when used by Outlook but block them from other apps.

How to change default zoom in outlook 365 permenently

I use the preview/reading pane in outlook 365 and I can see the slider bar at the bottom where I can adjust the zoom. Problem is I have to enlarge it each time for every email I want to read. How can set this to something other than 100% and make it stick?
Also, sometimes I need to fully open an email an I have the same problem - text is too small. And this time no slider bar at the bottom. SoO I have to go up to and manually adjust the zoom that way. This is so frustrating and a big problem for me as I have
bad eyes. Can someone please tell me how to change the zoom permanently?

Hi,
Changing the zoom setting is not persistent for reading messages. To make the zoom level persistent, you need to use an add-in or a macro. See:

How do I create a new folder to use for my Outlook 365 mail account? I know with pc all I had to do was to right mouse click.

Wondering how to create new folders for my Outlook 365 mail account. I know with pc all I had to do was to left mouse click.
Any suggestions?

New folder where? If you added the account in Mail app it should of created the folders to store that email automatically.
What email program are you using?

Can I sync my iCloud calendar with Outlook 365? I upgraded from Office 2010 and now it doesn't sync.

I upgraded from Outlook 2010, and now it doesn't update in Outlook 365. Thinking I can't do it, and it's a pity, cause I want it all to integrate on phone and on desktop. I'm running Windows 7 and Office 365. The iCloud app works fine with Internet Explorer, but I can't get the calendar to update. Any suggestions?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server." What do I do?

Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

HT5824 iCloud and Windows 8.1:Outlook 365 can't sync my iCloud calendar

I recently installed the windows 8.1 on my PC and now Outlook can't sync my iCloud calendar. The calendar works fine on my MacBook Pro and the iCloud app on my windows start page opens the iCloud calendar. It shows all appointments when I view the calendar in the ap but I use Outlook 365 for my business email and add appointments to the Outlook calendar. I see the iCloud calendar listed on the My Calendars panel, but now when I click on it I get the message: The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened. It was working in the original Windows 8.

Hello ronontheright,
Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
Please take a look at the following article.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.
Best regards,

ICloud with Outlook 365

I continue to have issues with Outlook 365 and iCloud. I have had no luck getting these programs to work together. I had no issues with Outlook 2010 and iCloud. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Outlook 365 is not a supported version.
PC
Microsoft Windows 7 or 8
iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 or later
iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)

Suddenly can't connect to gmail SMTP for outbound mail

I have both a MacBook Air and an IMac. Recently, I lost the ability on both machines to send outbound mail. With Apple Care help on my supported machine (the MacBook Air,) we rebuilt my gmail mail account on that machine and was able to reconnect and send outbound mail. (receiving mail was never a problem)
However, going through all of the same steps on the IMac, it keeps saying :"Gmail (offline) next to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) on the account information screen. When I run Connection Doctor, I have a red light next to Gmail SMTP with the message "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct."
Well, the username and password are correct. I just changed them, and can access Gmail from all of my other devices...MacBook Air, iPhone, IPad.
What is really odd it that is was working until about 3 weeks ago.
Any suggestions/ideas? I'm not particularly technical...just find this very frustrating and don't know where to turn.

No bad form to worry about, just the reduced attention to your problem that a solved designation causes.
If I remove my gmail account, I'll be able to get all the emails back when I create my new one - because it's imap?
Yes, but check 2 things,
1. That it is setup as Imap (POP is possible but is not the default) and 2 that you have not created any local folders that house mail from the Imap account, if you did then you must export them before removing the account.
What do you mean by verify both passwords? You mean imap and smtp?
I assume I should be using the application specific password in my mail settings?
Thanks,
Bob
Imap and SMTP should be the same, but check.

How do I sync Mail with Outlook and Gmail in browser?

I really like the Mail app in OS X, but I've noticed that it's not synced with the browser version of my email accounts, so anything I do in Mail (e.g. read an email, delete/trash it, etc) is only reflected within the app and not in my browser.
Just in case I didn't explain that properly: For example, if I read an email in Mail, and then switch to my Outlook account in Safari to check if that email has been marked as read, it would still appear as unread. If I delete and trash and email in Mac, that same email appears exactly where it used to be in Outlook, completely untouched.
This bothers me for two reasons. One, even if I were to stick with Mail and not touch my Outlook/Gmail accounts in Safari again, I still wouldn't like the idea of my inbox being all messy if I were ever to log back in. Two, Mail doesn't seem to have any options to create folders and subfolders as far as I'm aware, so my emails which are very neatly organized in Outlook are all lumped together in Mail's inbox. So even though Mail is a neat little app, I still have Outlook and Gmail bookmarked.
I'd like to know if there's a way to sync Mail with my email accounts in-browser, so that any changes I make in the app also show up when I log into my actual accounts? Maybe I'm just missing something or if this is not possible at all, please let me know. Thank you!

You have to set those accounts up as IMAP. Right now you probably have them set up as POP3 accounts.
Pop3 account are one way. You download your mail to your computer and send mail from your computer and it all stays on that particular computer. Imap stores everything on the mail providers server. Incoming and outgoing mail is always on the imap server and can be gotten on multiple devices. All sent mail is store on the server also and can be viewed from multiple devices.
With outlook that might not be possible. Not sure if individual outlook accounts can use imap. I do know that the office365 side can as that is what my company uses and some people are using macs and other email program other then ms outlook.

BB Curve, Outlook and Gmail

I have it almost configured how i want it this is where i am at:
i receive incoming gmail emails on both the BB and in outlook
i can send emails from BB and they are recieved at destination, however they do NOT show up in outlook and are a duplicate new message on BB
i want to have sent emails from BB to show up in outlook, and show replys as replys not as new emails
Im using XP, outlook 2007 and BIS, not that it matters but i have 3 email adresses coming into the BB and am at the same stage with all 3 accounts
Please help, Thanks

Hi,
Personally I'm not experiencing this issue with my Outlook with Gmail setup via IMAP.
Delete the Outlook Profile from Control Panel -> Mail, Open Outlook and setup a new profile, check if this problem persists. You can also try with another account except the Gmail account, test if this is only Gmail related.
You can also open Event Viewer to research deeper:
Press Win key + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter.
Find errors about Outlook from Windows Logs -> Application, this may help find the root cause.
