How can I access my emails on a Mac?

Friend has just bought a mac and wants to be able to access her emails through.

How will she do this - I've had a go with it but am a bit confused over the pop and smtp settings.

She has a live account - so does she use mail.live.com and does she use pop or pop3?

For smtp should it just be smtp.live.com.

Both of these have mail server unavailable.

I seem to be using pop3 on my outlook.

Help! on her behalf!

Found this:

Incoming Server Settings

POP Server: pop3.live.com
Security: This server requires a secure connection (SSL)
Port: Default SSL Port 995

Outgoing Server Settings

SMTP Server: smtp.live.com
Security: This server requires a secure connection (TLS/SSL)
Port: Default TLS/SSL Port 25
