Hmmm, thanks.  When setting my accounts up, I went with the most
current Microsoft documentation and did not even know
pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com existed.  I've been using
pop-mail.outlook.com and smtp-mail.outlook.com.  I know they work, I
just get the SSL Handshake error every once in awhile.  I'll give the
live.com servers a shot. Here's the link to the docs I found:
