Play Mailer Plugin For Play Framework 2.4 Does Not Work With Outlook Office 365

Question

I am trying to get the Play Mailer plugin to work with an office 365 email account but receive the following error:

Sending the email to the following server failed : smtp.office365.com:995]

Using MS recommended settings we have tried:

SMTP

play.mailer {
    host="smtp.office365.com"
    port=995
    ssl=yes
    tls=no
    user="[email protected]"
    password=“XXXXX
}

play.mailer {
    host="smtp.office365.com"
    port=587
    ssl=no
    tls=yes
    user="[email protected]"
    password="XXXXX"
}

IMAP:

We also attempted to use IMAP settings

play.mailer {
    host="outlook.office365.com"
    port=993
    ssl=yes
    tls=no
    user="[email protected]"
    password="XXXXX"
}

Any help would be fantastic.

If you’re connecting to your Office 365 email using SMTP:

Your email program may automatically try to use server port 25 for SMTP. If your email program shows port 25 for SMTP, be sure to select TLS encryption. Then, enter 587 to replace the default port number (25): server name: smtp.office365.com , Port: 587, Encryption method: Transport Layer Security (TLS) .

If you’re connecting to your Office 365 email using IMAP:

Your email program may automatically try to use port 110 if you're using POP or port 143 if you're using IMAP. If your email program shows port 110 or 143, be sure to select SSL encryption. Then, enter a port number of 995 to replace the default port number (110) if you're using POP or a port number of 993 to replace the default port number (143) if you're using IMAP: server name: outlook.office365.com, Port: 993, Encryption method: SSL .
