Hi,
I'm new to GCC community, and try to contribute some patches.
I am having trouble setting git send-email with Outlook on Linux. Does anyone
have any successful experiences to share?
I assume from your email address that you're referring to the
outlook.com webmail (i.e. what was hotmail), rather than a corporate
Exchange server with the Outlook desktop client.
The webmail settings (gear icon) has a "Forwarding and IMAP" tab. You
need to enable either POP or IMAP -- it doesn't matter which you choose
unless you actually want to read email in an external client -- and then
click "View POP, IMAP and SMTP settings".
The SMTP settings are what git send-email needs to work correctly.
I do not know if your system can support the authentication methods used
by outlook.com. Git uses a Perl library for this, so the documentation
is a little vague.
