IMAP and SMTP are completely and utterly independant of each other. Just
because you have IMAP set up to read mail, and maybe to post in local
mailboxes, means absolutely nothing to SMTP. You have to set it up
separately.

Then it should be easy. Just copy the SMTP settings from Outlook. OTOH
if Outlook is using an Exchange server then I'm afraid can't help you.

What do you mean "refused"? Is this a pop-up message on your screen, a
returned error email, or what? Is there no indication of why it's
refused? Is it refused by your local server or by a remote server? Are
you using a fully-qualified domain name for the destination or some kind
of local alias?
