I have made several attempts to add and email address through Windows Mail.
I have followed all of the instructions to the letter and keep getting the
same error message.
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.live.com', Server:
'pop3.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10013, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
 
That server doesn't use port 110. Also it requires SSL.
Please use the settings given here:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.
