Outlook 2003 and outlook.com

My Orange e-mail is finishing, so I am trying to get my outlook.com e-mail account into my Outlook 2003 inbox. 

Although Outlook 2003 is 'no longer supported' the Microsoft Help team gave me the following settings:

Incoming: IMAP imap-mail.outlook.com   SSL 993

Outgoing: SMTP smtp-mail.outlook.com   TLS 587

I tried these, but there was no option to choose TLS in the outgoing. I tried choosing SSl in the outgoing but it then reverted automatically to 25 which was in there previously.

Then another Help person said download Outlook Connector. This I did and I think it puts settings in automatically, I don't know because you can't actually see them. But anyway that doesn't work either.

Can anybody help with this? It seems odd that two MS products cannot talk to each other.

Yes I am trying to add my outlook.com account to Outlook 2003 on my desktop pc.

I am not wanting to move any email messages from my outlook.com account as this is a new account and there aren't any messages on it.

The reason I want to use my outlook.com account for e-mail is that fsnet is being discontinued.
