Answer 1

I can connect to office365.com on port 587 using telnet, and there is a mail server on the other end.

(On linux, I ran "telnet office365.com 587" ...)

Apparently you can't connect. Or at least, the Java app you are running can't connect.

The most likely explanation that there is a firewall that is blocking the out-going connection:

• Check your computer's firewall rules.

• If you are doing this from home, check your router / modem's firewall rules. If that fails, talk to your ISP.

• If you are doing this from work (or school) talk to your network administrator(s).
