Outlook.com Exchange with Custom Domain

My domain's mail is handled by Outlook.com. I did this for the Exchange ActiveSync that Google Apps recently dropped.

I'm having an issue with Outlook for Mac 2011. I need to get my emails as soon as they come in, and it's hard to do that with only POP3 access on my desktop/laptop. Sure I get my emails on my phone fine and dandy, but when I'm at my desk I don't want to have to grab my phone each time a new email comes in.

When I had Google Apps, I had IMAP, which was suitable. Outlook.com's POP3 won't let me check more than a couple of times in a 15 minute window.

Is there anyway around this, or am I screwed with Outlook for Mac?

And, I only use Mac so the Office Connector is of no use to me. :(

Thanks!
