[edit] Default ports for TLS

   Incoming Server Port (Imap) "143"
   Outgoing Server Port (smtp) "587"

The port numbers may be changed for security reasons in the future, to be determined!!!

Now click "OK" to close the "Internet E-Mail Settings" window then close the rest of the windows.

That is it for configuring your Windows Live E-mail Client to use TLS!
