email account

I am not able to successfully set up my IMAP cox.net email accounts in Outlook.com.  I get an SMTP error message when I use either outgoing port numbers 587 or 465.  The incoming mail settings seem to work fine.  I also have those accounts successfully set up in Outlook 2016 and Outlook for Android.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and successfully resolved it?

delete the account, re-create with auto setup.

I've done that several times with no success.  It doesn't like the SMTP server settings.

I am having the same issue. I have tried multiple times using the Outlook auto-setup as well as the manual way through the control panel ( create new profile). This is on a brand new Win 10 with Outlook 2016 (365)
