Failing Forward

A while back I explained how to configure an Outlook Web Access (OWA) account for sending and receiving via Gmail’s web client. It seems as if the instructions provided – while correct – are not permanent. At least in my case, I’ve noticed the past few days that every time I attempted to send an email from my OWA account via Gmail, Gmail’s servers kept rejecting the message. After some fiddling around, I referred to my previous instructions on locating the proper OWA SMTP host and realized that Outlook has in fact recently changed the information.

At least for me.  If you’ve been affected, simply repeat the ridiculous “host discovery” process delineated in the other post and everything goes back to kosher.
