For those who are experiencing this error and sync probs I tried this suggestion from somebody else and it is working:
To fix this issue you will need to reconfigure your account.
1. To re-configure your account – Click the Accounts Tab and Click the + symbol with the @ sign.
2. Type your e-mail address, password and display name.
3. Place a check on “Manually Configure Server Settings”
4. Under “Incoming Server Information” select “IMAP” as server type.
5. In the Server Address field, type imap-mail.outlook.com and in port type 993
6. Place a check on “Requires a secure connection SSL”
7. Under “Outgoing Server Information” type smtp-mail.outlook.com as server address and in port type 587
8. Place a check on “Requires a secure connection SSL” and “Requires Authentication”
9. Click Next. And you’re done, you should now see a new account added in the left pane of your Windows Live Mail.
10. If you wish to move messages from the previously added account, you can drag messages and drop them to the appropriate folders.
11. Your messages should still all be re-downloaded, except for Sent Messages which you can drag and drop.
12. After your account is setup, you can remove the previous account by right clicking on it and selecting “Remove Account”
The only thing I didn't do was remove the old account because Microsoft may fix that eventually. I'll give them a couple more days on that one.
Hope this helps somebody,

Yahoo POP dropped again. Last July it took me 5 wks to fix. Outlook .com is using the wrong server address. and I when I fixit I am rejected.
Windows Live 2011 fills in the right addresses.
Please don't reply unless you have an answer regarding the server address. The correct Yahoo Plus server addresses are : plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com & plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
I will not go back and forth with forum users and moderators that have no ability to fix your web code!

In outlook.com, we are trying to get outlook.com to access a POP mail account.
In Settings: More email settings: Your email Accounts, we have added a Sending and Receiving POP Email Account. We provided the Incoming and Outgoing server info, server address, username and password. We saved these details.
This allowed us to see our new mails on the mailserver as expected. However, any mail that arrives subsequently isn’t visible, requiring us to go back into ‘Edit your account’ page where the mailserver password needs to be entered again as it appears to have changed. When the correct password is entered again new emails become visible, but any subsequent emails require the process to be repeated.
Any suggestions?
