I want to set my wife's computer to get her email from outlook. I have mine set up to get my email from pop3 LIVE mail which I understand is now the same as OUTLOOK but cant get hers to work.

I read somewhere recently that Outlook have changed the default server mode from POP to IMAP. The post said that if you still want to use POP, you have to log into the account via the website and change a setting to 'enable POP' or something like that. I don't use Outlook personally so I can't check that for you, sorry. Alternatively you could try setting up your wife's account with IMAP and see if that works. I think the default option for new accounts in Thunderbird is IMAP, so it should be straightforward: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-hotmail
