I've just now been able to get access to one. These steps are still current
even upto O365.

Goto Control Panel (NOT pane), Mail (Microsoft Outlook),
Click on "Email Accounts", Highlight the email address,
Click on "Change" (3rd option. It's on the bar with new/repair etc.)
On the window that opens, down in the lower right is "More Settings",
Click on that.
Click the "Advanced" Tab.

You now have access to the important bits...

Incomming Pop3 port: (995)
This server requires an encrpted connection. (SSL/TLS)

Outgoing server (SMTP) Port: 465
Use the following type of encrypted connection:
   None, SSL/TLS, StartTLS, Auto
