Trouble adding an Yahoo Business account to Outlook.com

Currently, I'm using an Yahoo Business email account and I want to add that email to Outlook.com so that all is in one place. Following settings (in Options > Your email accounts) worked fine with Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 but not with Outlook.com. Can anyone point out my mistake?

Name: My Name
Email address: My email

Incoming (POP3) server information

Server address: pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
Port: 995

(x) Requires a secure connection (SSL)
(x) Leave a copy of messages on the server

Username: My email
Password: My password

Outgoing (SMTP) server information

(x) Send email using your provider's server (recipient will not see your Outlook address)

Server address: smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com
Port: 465

(x) Requires a secure connection (SSL/TLS)
(x) Use the same username and password to send and receive email



And I got the error:

We couldn't sign in to your POP3 server. Please make sure your username and password are correct.
