I just got a new computer running Windows 8.1 and of course after TRYING to get my Live Mail accounts into Outlook 2010 and failing I then downloaded Windows Live Mail 2012. 

I can't my accounts to come consistently as POP3 accounts, using pop3.live.com, smtp.live.com, outgoing as 25 OR 587,  incoming 995.  All the settings were set up the way Outlook.com says to do it. 

I even enabled the POP3 access.

First I would RATHER download all the accounts we have using Live Mail 2012 with the Delta Sync server settings so we all have our folders intact. 

Some of the accounts have this:

http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v1.0.0/sync.aspx

Other accounts have this:

https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx

I have seen other POP settings stating other server settings too.

How the heck can you set up the Windows Live Mail 2012 to grab your Hotmail, live mail, and Outlook.com email addresses into the Email Program Microsoft has designed.
