Hi, I would like to know how to set up my online client to send email with ispconfig as the smtp. What are the: - server - port - requires secure connection? - username - password Thanks in advance!
Your mail server name. Probably 587. If that doesn't work, edit /etc/postfix/master.cf and enable the submission service (refer to a Perfect Server guide). Yes. The email address you create for this account. The password you set for this account.
Thank you a lot. I experienced that gmail works like a charm with secured transfer. outlook.com is a pain and works best if you leave the TLS/SSL box unchecked.
Sending your mail usernames/passwords over the network in plain text is a common way to have your email accounts abused, you'd be much better off getting SSL/TLS working. I'm not familiar with the specific issues outlook has, but in general make sure your certificate / certificate chain is good, and in your mail client, try using the servername that matches the CN (common name) found in the certificate.
I have no idea how to find out or change what I used in the certificate in question. Isn't that a self-signed certificate? Please elaborate more on the certificate chain and how to make it work.

Yes, you probably have a self-signed certificate, which is what the ispconfig installer creates. See https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/letsencrypt-on-mail-server.73695/ for how to use a letsencrypt certificate (the instructions there should actually work for ispconfig 3.0.5 as well, as they only cover setting up the certificate for postfix/dovecot - you can not use letsencrypt for client websites in 3.0.5).
As that is quite unrelated to the topic in this thread or even the ISPConfig 3 Forum, you might post your question(s) under the general Linux Forum.
