Login ID / Email address on Outlook.com conflict

On Outlook.com, my login ID is 'dsmasterson@gmail.com'. When I try to connect the email for this Outlook.com account to Thunderbird, Thunderbird asks for an email address and password. My problem is that Thunderbird will assume this is my GMail account and try connecting up the email from GMail.

How can I tell Thunderbird that this is my login ID and not my email address?
