I set up my Outlook 2013 account. I am sending emails, and it gets into Outbox. I tried the troubleshooting, and I encountered a 530: authentication required problem. How to fix it?
The 530: authentication required problem has different reasons. If you did not set up properly, the following steps will fix it up for you.

There are a few other reasons for this error.
