Thunderbird SMTP and POP3 Windows live ports

I was having problems in configuring my Mozilla Thunderbird to work with my windows live account, I've followed the guide in that website, it worked fine except that Thunderbird refused completely to send any mails through the SMTP, after researching , the problem was residing in SMTP port for TLS, following is the list of ports for POP3,SMTP in every case of security
Incoming ports for POP3 email protocol:
port 110 (insecure)
port 995 (SSL)


Incoming ports for IMAP4 protocol:
port 143 (insecure)
port 993 (SSL)


Outgoing ports for SMTP message submission:
port 25 (security optional, depending upon server configuration;
         originally intended for message transfer.)
port 465 (SSL)
port 587 (TLS, if supported by the message submission server.)


NOTE: Not all services offer all ports, protocols, or security (except the secure ports requiring SSL: 465, 993, and 995).
