SendMail Outlook/Office365 broken in 5.71 (works in 5.62!)

Rinzwind · **Posted:** Mon Feb 17, 2020 8:11 am

Is broken in v 5.71 while it does work in 5.62

Code:

  InitNetwork()
  ; Be sure to use the right login and right password
  ;
  Login$ = "user@live.nl"
  If CreateMail(0, "user@live.nl", "Hello")
    AddMailRecipient(0, "info@user.com", #PB_Mail_To)

    Debug SendMail(0, "smtp.live.com", 587, #PB_Mail_UseSSL, Login$, "password")
  EndIf

Also tried smtp-mail.outlook.com

Port: 587
Encryption method: STARTTLS

I had also some problems with different mail servers using port 587 with starttls and the #PB_Mail_UseSSL flag.

For me it looks, as if the #PB_Mail_UseSSL in 5.7x only works on full ssl connection, most providers do this on port 465, but I don't know, if this works on Live/Outlook.

Didn't expect it fixed, but FYI: still broken in 5.72 (it instantly returns 0)
GMail works fine. Outlook not. What changed since 5.62?

Outlook email not working here either, what settings did you use to get Gmail working? I haven't had any luck with that either.

This is probably due to the advanced security settings of the e-mail providers.

Now the APP-ID is also checked and only registered programs are allowed to send mails. This setting was or is now also used by the MS mail server.

To send via smtp with gmail-server, you have to change your security settings on the website, so that your own programs can send mails from PB.
This will probably now also be the case with MS-Mailserver.

After changing the security settings of Gmail once for testing purposes, I was able to send mails from the PB program as well.

But for security reasons I deactivated this again.

Thanks for the info, I'll take a closer look.

Security settings can be causing problems, but not in this case. Already checked.. Like I said: it still works fine in PB 5.62. Thunderbird also connects just fine. Something is breaking it in any PB version > 5.62.

I managed to get GMail connecting by adding an 'app password' from the google security settings. I don't think this is related to outlook email though - I too think that's a different issue.

Still broken in 5.72 and latest 5.73 beta 2.

Quite a problem since Outlook/Hotmail/Office 365 usage is not a small percentage of market...
Hope it gets attention. Again: works still fine in old v 5.62 so something broke it.

Code instantly returns 0 (failed) without even trying it seems.
