Before calling LA Servers regarding your domain name Email not working with Outlook
Check your domain name Email account using Webmail.
If you can send and receive Email on the server using Webmail but Outlook won't check or send your Email for this account, the problem is with Outlook, not with LA Servers.
Make sure you don't already have an Email queued up to send as your new settings won't affect an already queued Email.
If you're sure you have all your Email settings correct and Outlook still doesn't work, try deleting the Email account in Outlook and adding it again. Also, changing the outgoing server port from 25 to 587 should work if you're having a problem sending Email in Outlook.
