Settings are:

Incomming

server: pop.outlook.com

port: 995

SSL required: yes

Outgoing

port: 587

encrypted conection: TSL

username and password : BT Username and password

Try using pop3 instead of just "pop". Those port numbers seems to be odd. Pop3 should be 110 and SMTP should be 25.

Are you trying to set up your BT email on this client? The server should look line pop3.someBTname.com. Try to verify this.
