hotmail not sending

[blackshirt]

my hotmail isn't sending, when i go through setup it works on incoming server however, the outgoing server fails and says my username/password need to be verified. I have verified them several times. Please help. Also, this is on the stock droid mail app.

Wonder if it has anything to do with ActiveSync being enabled...

Incoming server is pop3.live.com
Security type is SSL on port 995

Outgoing server is smtp.live.com
Security type TLS on port 587
