Good news, your workstation/laptop can resolve hotmail server name.
So, to summarize:
- you can resolve server name
- FW authorizes outgoing connections from internal to internet for the requested ports (995 & 587)
- your client is configured as described in Robb's link
- you are of course using the right login/password 
...  but it still doesn't work


hmmm, be sure your client's IP matches the one you set in FW 
look at /var/log/syslog while trying to open connection from client to hotmail server
have a lso a look at Zentyal FW log (using Zentyal GUI is perhaps easier)

on firewall log its redirecting and in syslog its drop..

"hmmm, be sure your client's IP matches the one you set in FW"

i had removed it put it on any..

indeed you have dropped packets... 
but the very good news, unless you're showing only partial log content, is that none matches ports we are looking at 

Look closer: packets that are rejected target port 137, furthermore UDP. This is Netbios 

More seriously, try to apply filter in order to catch only port 995 and 587, TCP otherwise it will be difficult to investigate.

Oops, I read too fast... you do have packets for port 995... let me lock again

[christian]

I wonder why you have such redirect  from 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.8 through eth0...

For those perhaps facing similar issue, problem was not due to Zentyal itself but rather due to some misunderstand about network design and how and where to deploy Zentyal for expected purpose.

We made some basic changes in network configuration and everything went fine quickly
