Up until this morning thunderbird was working perfectly fine....turned on laptop this morning and thunderbird gave an error message connecting to my hotmail account. I have tried the password in outlook and it works fine. I have changed the password and uninstalled thunderbird and tried setting up the account again with the new password and it just will not connect at all.

The password is correct...but Thunderbird will not have it.

I do not have two step verification set up....and i have the POP setting allowed on my Windows Outlook Hotmail account. I really like Thunderbird and do not really want to have to choose another email client. Unless anyone has a solution i am stuck and forced to go with another client.

Forgive my ignorance but if any of you have answers can you give them in laymans terms not tech speak.

Thanks in advance

I think outlook.com is broken.

Okay, that would explain the problem with it connecting through firefox but allowing access through the website itself. So i just have to wait and hope that Microsoft sort out their mess and hopefully it starts working again with thunderbird...
