PHP imap_open not working

I'm getting an error:

Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {pop3.live.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX in /home/.../imap.php on line 3

when using code:

$mbox = imap_open('{pop3.live.com:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX', '<user>', '<pass>');

In my case it was {domain:110/pop3/novalidate-cert}INBOX that helped me in fixing both the CLOSED IMAP connection broken (server response) and Certificate failure for domain.

Confirm your ports and also whether you have ssl enabled using 

openssl s_client -crlf -connect your-domain-name:port-number

Your URL has pop3 for a sub-domain. Are you sure that IMAP is available (ports 143 or 993 open)?

Doing a quick search, it looks like imap has to be enabled on your live.com account. Are you able to IMAP to the server using a standard mail client, like Thunderbird?

Also, you are pointing to pop3.live.com on port 995, which is a POP3 port, not an IMAP port.
