i am writing a program that will connect to a hotmail email account a pop all of the emails to my windows form using C# but when i try and set up the enital connecting using TCPClient i get this error message

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 65.55.32.247:110

here is the code i am using to connect to 

public TcpClient Server;
        public NetworkStream NetStrm;
        public StreamReader  RdStrm;
 Server = new TcpClient("pop3.live.com", 110);

You're using the wrong port. Use 995.

For further help working with streams to read POP3 mail, see this question.
