What this helps you do
Connection failures usually come from provider permissions, wrong credentials, disabled protocols, or admin restrictions.
Recommended workflow in Outlio
Confirm you are signing into the intended mailbox.
Check provider admin permissions.
For SMTP/IMAP, confirm host, port, username, and app password.
Try reconnecting in a clean browser session.
Contact support with the provider and error message if it still fails.
Quality checks
- OAuth approval may require an admin.
- SMTP auth may be disabled by Microsoft tenants.
- App passwords often require two-factor authentication first.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Retrying the same wrong password repeatedly.
- Connecting an alias instead of the mailbox.
Done well, this should leave you with
A cleaner Outlio setup, fewer avoidable campaign issues, and a more reliable path from setup to replies.
