To access these settings, click Outlook > Preferences > Accounts, select the Exchange account, and then click Advanced.

Override default port | To be able to edit the port number that follows the server address, select this check box. |
Use SSL to connect (recommended) | Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an encryption technology that helps improve the security of the account. |
