Settings for outlook

I have had to reset my computer and am trying to add my blueyonder email account to Outlook, but can't get it to work.

It has automatically added the following into the settings;

Incoming server      :993.1

Outgoing server       :465.1

There are no other lines to add the port, just one line for receiving, and one line for sending.

Does anyone know what goes in that line.

I have looked on my phones settings for the same email account and it has receiving as... imap.virginmedia.com

and sending as .... smtp.virginmedia.com

I have tried inserting these in front of what has been put in above but that doesn't work. 

Any idea what I should put in each line?

Thanks in advance.

  • Okay, all sorted it was the port number at the end of the imap.virginmedia.com line.

    I had forgot you have to use the third party password, not the virgin media password.
