After doing alot of research and giving Bill Gates $20 for a hotmail plus account I should be able to send and receive emails with Apple Mail but im having problems. I can receive emails however I when I try to send I get an error saying my SMTP settings are not set. Not sure whats wrong. Please help.

fixed my own problem. The message which was sitting in my outbox was linked to older settings that were not correct. I deleted the message and made a new one and it worked.
