Not even close. See the Configuration Settings section here:

Re: POP3 setting not working

You have to use authentication...
Tools - Accounts - youraccount - Properties - Servers
[x] My outgoing server requires authentication

as per the instructions...
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@xxxxxx
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes
