I use a 64 bit win7 system; a hotmail email account but didnt like the default windows live mail program so I downloaded pegasus.  I used the connection wizard; and double checked all the settings as prescribed by windows (port settings, using SSL, etc) as contained in their guide

Maybe these two pictures will help:

What is your question?  What does not work??  These are the POP3 and SMTP host settings and you must make sure that your firewall is not blocking Pegasus Mail.

(a) -POP3-

  Server host name: pop3.live.com
  User name: <your_user_name>@hotmail.com
  Password: <your_password>
  Server TCP/IP port: 995
  SSL/TLS: via direct SSL connect
  Enable server certificate fingerprint tracking: checked

(b) - SMTP via SSL -

  Server host name: smtp.live.com
  Server TCP/IP port: 465
  SSL/TLS: via direct ssl connection
  Enable server certificate fingerprint tracking: unchecked
  SMTP Authentication: Login to the SMTP server using POP3
  username/password (the Hotmail-POP3-definition has been chosen)

Would be helpful if you told us what did not work.  Turn on session logging and post the result after munging the password.

pop3 works fine, in SMTP settings I have checked only this:

Via direct SSL connect

Login to the SMTP server using POP3 uss/pwd

 

This is the log output

Try using port 587 and STARTTLS.  

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Connect to &#039;smtp.live.com&#039; port 465, timeout 15. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try using port 587 and STARTTLS. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
