The server settings have changed. You should have been notified.

1. On the Servers Tab,
a. Change the Incoming mail (POP3) and Outgoing mail (SMTP) settings
to:
i. Incoming mail FROM pop3.email.msn.com TO pop3.live.com
ii. Outgoing mail FROM smtp.email.msn.com TO smtp.live.com
b. Uncheck the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" box
c. Ensure your full e-mail address is included under "Account Name"
e.g.

2. On the Advanced Tab,
a. Change the port number for Incoming Mail (POP3) from 110 to 995
b. Check both the boxes that indicates
"This server requires a secure connection (SSL)"
