We no longer offer Microsoft Office 365 products at this time. If you have already purchased Microsoft Office 365, you may continue to manage your subscription through the Account Manager. If you are looking for a professional email solution, Google Workspace is an excellent alternative for a professional email and provides a full suite of productivity and communication tools.

What is an SSL for an Email Server?
SSL, TLS, and STARTTLS are standard protocols to secure email transmissions. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS), provide a way to encrypt a communication channel between two computers over the Internet.
We can always provide our server settings and walk you through setting up your Outlook. However, we cannot help troubleshoot errors specific to Outlook.
