Hotmail to Outlook.com smtp not working

I have just changed my xxx.hotmail.co.uk account to xxx.outlook.com and tried to update my Sony Tablet - it won't allow the email address to change so I deleted the account and tried to create a new one and then the problems started.

When I set up the account on a PC in Outlook the settings are:

- server POP3: pop3.live.com
- POP: 995
- : SSL

- server SMTP: smtp.live.com
- SMTP: 587
-  TLS

When I set up on the Tablet S the incoming email test works but not the sending. I know were the problem is, since I need SSL for incoming and TLS for outgoing.

Rather than using the PO settings I have tried the Exchange option but I don't know the correct options.

Does any one know the corect settings to get this to work?

What exactly the problem if you have your email setup on hotmail? Have you tried using a different email account?
