Gmail Cannot Retrieve Hotmail via POP3

If you cannot retrieve Your Hotmail Account in Your Gmail Account via POP3, and got the following information in gmail

「Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password. [Error="ProxyNotA...」

that is because All Hotmail accounts are being moved to Office 365 Servers, and that turns off the POP3 service, to reenable it, do the following in Hotmail:

Settings -> Options -> POP and IMAP -> Yes -> SAVE
