I promise this will work for all of you!

Servers tab settings:
Incoming mail: pop3.live.com
Outgoing mail: smtp.live.com
Account name: Your e-mail address (e.g. ***@msn.com, not demo)
Password: Your password
Log on using Secure Password Authentication: Unchecked
My server required authentication: Checked (Important!)

Advanced tab settings:
Outgoing mail: 25
SSL Connection: Checked
Incoming mail: 995
SSL Connection: Checked

The other settings are up to you. If you use the above settings, you should
be able to connect 100% no problems.

Please post any feedback here!

Thanks,

This will only work with @live.com accounts, which arn't even available
yet*.


*Yes I know there has been leaks and a few accounts have been made, but
still.

Not true. This will work for any legacy POP3 account which previously used
the pop3.email.msn.com servers.

Petey..How do you know it will work for any legacy POP3? It won't work for
me, I can receive mail only, still get the error sending. Sends fine with
the old settings. And, believe me, I have checked and double checked every
setting.

There are quite a few posts explaining the 'why'... in summary...the deployment was not accomplished in the planned timeframe. Continue to use the old settings and consider two options especially since no other choices really exist.
a. periodically try the new settings
or
b. use the old until they stop functioning.

Works fine here..for both pop3 accounts.

The only thing I would add to Peter's post to ensure additional clarity.
Ensure that SPA is checked off in both places on the OE/Servers tab:
Server Information(for Incoming) and Outgoing Server/Settings)
and
Username.msn.com and pw are entered in Outgoing Server/Settings or the option to use same settings as Incoming is checked(it will grey out the other choices).

For OL..search for one of my prior posts(Jan 29) titled "Mns Pop3 Update Revised"

Is the account accessible at account.live.com and also at mail.live.com ?

If so see,
Hotmail and MSN Accounts POP3/SMTP Access
http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F92775FC46A390CA!422.entry

Note: the Port 587 recommendation for Outgoing instead of 25.

Have you tried Outlook Connector? It is only "supposed" to work with
Outlook 2003 and newer, but in my experience it does work with Outlook 2002.
