C# SMTP fails to authenticate on Outlook.com, port

I'm attempting to send automated emails (genuinely required business reason - not spam!). Code similar to that below used to work with another mail service provider but the customer has moved to "outlook.com" and they're now getting:

    The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated

Surely this (C#) code should work:

    private void Send_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MailMessage message = null;
        try
        {
            message = new MailMessage(From, To);
            message.Subject = "Update Request Session from " + From;
            message.CC.Add(Cc);
            message.Body = "Test message: please ignore.";
            message.IsBodyHtml = false;

            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.outlook.com", 587);
            client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(From, Password);
            client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            client.EnableSsl = true;

            client.Send(message);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Status.Text = ex.Message;
        }

        if (message != null)
        {
            message.Dispose();
        }
    }

Please note the DeliveryMethod and EnableSsl are being set and that the port is 587.

I've created another test account on my Outlook client (the desktop program, not the web service) to test the parameters which the code above uses:

  • user name
  • password
  • smtp.outlook.com
  • 587
  • TLS

and the "Test Account Settings" in Outlook shows that the parameters are correct ("Task: Send test e-mail message - Status:Completed"). So I think the the user name and password must be correct.

I've turned on verbose logging on as described here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxnetcom/thread/28b5a576-0da2-42c9-8de3-f2bd1f30ded4/. This has produced a plenty of output, too much to post here. Here are the last few lines:

The first of those lines suggests to me that the SmtpClient and outlook.com have agreed on the encryption protocols to use, but the rest of it is means little to me bar the "5.7.1 Client was not authenticated" line.

Has anyone run into similar problems connecting to Outlook.com?

Thanks in advance.

Also make sure that you use an app password (can be created here) if 2-step authentication has been enabled for your Microsoft account.

I know that it sounds weird but AFAI remember you should use the UseDefaultCredentials = false before setting Credentials. change your code to:

client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;    
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(From, Password);
