I was very disappointed with the Outlook connector not working properly after upgrading to Office 2010 so I uninstalled it, researched the settings for the pop3 and smtp services, tested them, and now everything is back to normal again:
Incoming Server
- pop3.live.com
- Username: username@hotmail.com - same as your full e-mail address/it can also be live.com or msn.com
- Password required
- There is no need to check SPA - Secure Password Authorization
- Pop3 port is 995
- Encryption: SSL required
Outgoing Server
- smtp.live.com
- Outgoing Server Authentication: yes
- Outgoing server is configured to use the same settings as the incoming server
- Port is 25 or 587 - the preferred outgoing port is 587 instead of 25 because most of the ISPs will block port 25 by default
- Encryption: SSL, TLS or Auto - SSL is recommended for Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2003, iPhone/iPod Touch, Outlook Express and Vista's Windows Mail - TLS/Auto for Outlook 2007/2010
