Windows Live 2012 – TLS support

I'm trying to set up access to OWA via Windows Live 2012. The settings I am supposed to use in Windows Live Mail according to the OWA help is:

IMAP setting

Server name: outlook.office365.com
Port: 993
Encryption method: SSL

SMTP setting
Server name: smtp.office365.com
Port: 587
Encryption method: TLS

The problem is, Windows Live Mail 2012 only has the option for SSL. You get the following error:

The server does not support a SSL connection.
Subject 'test'
Server Error: 250
Server Response: 250 XXXXXXXB
Server: 'smtp.office365.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC7D
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): Yes​

I have searched the web, this forum etc. and not a single useful answer that works has been suggested so far to allow emails to be set from Windows Live 2012 via OWA with the required TLS encryption method.

So many have logged the same issue and it seems Microsoft is just playing deaf and dumb...
