In Outlook this is the "outgoing mail" settings....
If you find the server, logon account and protocol (SSL etc) in
Outlook settings then you can use those with the Indy10 TIdSmtp
component.

In fact you don't really need the same server as you use to get emails
for sending emails out, you can use any SMTP server you have access
to. After all an email is just dropped into a mailbox with a target
address and the system delivers it to that target.

I don't really know how you can get under the skin of the Exchenge
Webmail app, though...
