outlook question

I'm looking for a little assistance with setting a Dreamhost email account with Outlook.

I have it set to all the noted settings according to Dreamhost:

Incoming mail server: mail.siteaddress.com
Incoming mail server type: POP3
Incoming mail server username: my full email account
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: mail.siteaddress.com
My server requires authentication: checked. (use same settings as incoming mail server)
Use secure password authentication: not checked.

The emails are coming in with no issues, but I can't seem to SEND from the account from Outlook.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance!!
