Do you receive an error message?

Outlook can't connect to the smtp server. Contact your administrator.
Thats all. But after some seconds no directly.

Okay but what's the error code in outlook?

It sounds like your system can't reach the SMTP port. Did you try to telnet to the port?

1. Go to Start
2. Run
3. Type CMD
4. Click ok
5. Type telnet [HOSTNAME] 25
6. Press enter

If you get a connection timeout, then there you have it. You don't have access to the outgoing port on your server. You can setup submission port from Plesk under the Server > Mail section and use port 587 instead.

Also make sure that you setup Outlook to login to the incoming mail server before sending emails:

Go to Tools > Account Settings > Double click the account > More Settings > Outgoing Server > ‘Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail’.

My guess is that your ISP is only allowing outbound access on port 25 to their own SMTP. You can probably enable the submission port on Plesk and use port 587 instead if you really want to use Plesk's SMTP server.
