Why won't Outlook.com accept pop.bizmail.yahoo.com?

I'm new to Outlook.com, but I've used Outlook 2010 for years without any problem to access my Yahoo Business Mail account (******@markoneill.com) which is part of my Yahoo web hosted site, markoneill.com.  But the same settings for POP3 mail don't work in Outlook.com.  Outlook.com can't access pop.bizmail.yahoo.com as my POP3 server.  Is there a work-around for this problem?  Thank you.

    I too am having this trouble. I was THIS close to switching from Yahoo Small Business to Outlook, but can't do so because of this problem. I have a screenshot for you. Thanks.

    I'd recommend checking the default server name on the Outlook set-up screen.  I compared my set-up on MacMail and found I needed to add another word to the server name.

    Default: pop.mail.yahoo.com

    Correct: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
