And select Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
8. Next, Click the Advanced tab and enter the values below:
Incoming server(POP3): 995
In addition, Select This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL).
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
Lastly, Click [ OK ] and Click [ Next ] and this will test incoming/outgoing server for email and finish setting up the account in Outlook 2013.
