I have tried everything to get my office365 email to work on the site and exhaused everything to this point with office365 support. I also tried a gmail email and received the same error
SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: (0)SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
I went to the link above and have done all the trouble shooting recommended to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem with their Office365 email and did you find a fix.
