If you experience an issue sending email, you can try the following:
Click on More Settings...
Click the Advanced tab, and change the Outgoing server (SMTP) port to the alternate port of 465, with SSL encryption, then click on OK.
Port 587 is also available as an alternate (unencrypted) SMTP port for the Grid. However, Outlook may still persist with authentication errors if SSL is not used when sending mail
