Hotmail finally enables POP3!

It took me for sometime before I managed to get the right configurations working.

The settings:
POP3 Server: pop3.live.com (port 995)
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com (port 25)

If port 25 has been blocked in your network or by your ISP, you can set SMTP port to 587
Check both for the secure connection (SSL) option
Remember to uncheck "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)" and check the "Require authentication for Outgoing SMTP" sort of
