You are using the wrong Port numbers & server name, change them on your
accounts properties, set it up as follows:


POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example (e-mail address removed)
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows
Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

That server does not support port 110. You must use port 995 with SSL.
The complete settings given here:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the outgoing (SMTP) server.
