Gmail / Hotmail - Settings to configure Gmail to use Hotmail's SMTP and POP Server

Below are the settings that I use to receive and send emails through my Hotmail account via Gmail. In Gmail, Go to settings > Accounts and Import > Send mail as | Check mail from other accounts (using POP3)

I think the Microsoft's POP Server was updated at some point because I didn't receive hotmail emails for a while. This should also be the same for Microsoft Live and Microsoft Outlook although I have not personally tested these.

SMTP

SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
UserName: [[email address]]
Port: 587
Secured connection: TLS

POP

Email address: [[email address]]
Username: [[email address]]
Pop Server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
SSL: true
