Outlook for Mac sending but not receiving Hotmail

I just installed Outlook 2011 for Mac, and I got one of my two emails set up.  However, I can't seem to figure out why Hotmail isn't receiving anything.  It can send emails, it just can't receive any.  Here's the info.

Incoming server: pop3.live.com   :   995
0    Override default port
X    Use SSL to connect (checkmarked)
0     Always use secure password


Outgoing server:  smtp.live.com   :   25
0    Override default port
X    Use SSL to connect (checkmarked)
0    Always use secure password



Here is the error I get.

An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.


Error: -3259
