Yep, saw that one.  It seems that most of the articles written in
2014 talk about pop-mail.outlook.com, while 2013 and earlier talk
about pop3.live.com.  Depending on the site, you might get
recommended one or the other, but both work.  Not sure if the SSL
Handshake Error is specific to the outlook.com servers, but I thought
the devs here should be made aware of it in case it's something that
can be adjusted on their end.

This is a page that talks about outlook.com and mentions the "old"
live.com servers:
http://askleo.com/what_are_outlookcom_imap_pop3_and_smtp_settings/

Particularly, at the very bottom it says "Hotmail and Outlook.com are
the same thing these days. Settings that used to work for Hotmail,
based on Microsoft’s old Live.com servers, should continue to work.
This article outlines the current settings documented by Microsoft."
