Possible Solutions
1. Verify Certificate Name
- Select ‘View Certificate’ when confronted with an Outlook Security Certificate error.
- Click ‘Issued to Name’ under the ‘General’ tab and see if the name on the certificate matches the name on the mail server.
- If the certificate does not match, modify the name and restart Outlook.
2. Modify The Outgoing SMTP Port
One possible solution is to change the outgoing SMTP port in the Outlook app.
- Open the Outlook app, select the ‘File’ tab, then the ‘Info’ tab, and finally the ‘Account Settings’ tab in the right pane.
- Select your email account and press ‘Change’ in the ‘Account Settings’ window, under the ‘E-Mail’ tab.
- Click ‘More Settings,’ and then the ‘Advanced’ tab. To save the changes, change the Outgoing Server SMTP port and click the ‘Ok’ button. After that, see if it works for you.
3. Use Your Hosting Domain Name As The Mail Server
- Another possible solution is to use your hosting’s domain name as the mail server.
- Because the hosting provider does not renew the SSL certificate for each domain and only uses domain certificates, an Entitlement.diagnostics.office.com error security alert is generated.
- In order to fix this, you can use the domain name of the hosting company rather than the domain name of the mail server.
