I have three Outlook Accounts, All of them work. One account is an
@live.com email address.

I using the following settings on that account:
pop-mail.outlook.com:995
Use SSL/TLS

I tried that account with pop3.live.com, it works.
outlook.office365.com also works for me on all of my Outlook accounts.

Here is the log:

----------

I think the problem is shown in your log.
10:50:56] POP< -ERR Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

You should double check that you have entered everything correctly.
