smtplib.SMTPNotSupportedError: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.

Says "SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server." Not sure if that means that @hotmail is supported or not, but I looked it up and I put:

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp-mail.outlook.com', 25)

and it said it was supported online, I thought.

Any input is appreciated.

You need to do the connection before the login:

server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp-mail.outlook.com", 25)
server.connect("smtp-mail.outlook.com", 25)

And you probably want to use TLS instead, most providers only support connections with it.
