Mac Mail says unable to verify account name or password

Anonymous

Hi!

For a few weeks, I've been getting "enter password for hotmail" notification on my Mac. When I enter it, it says "Unable to verify account name or password". I've tried with POP, IMAP, Exchange... still have the same problem. I have another account on Mac Mail (not Outlook account) and works perfectly so I presume it's not coming from Mac but rather from Outlook.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you

Using macOS Sonoma 14.7 and Hotmail is still an issue, although I did manage to get back my mails using exchange instead, but it's not what I was after.

I solved this by selecting Mail,

going into Accounts,

Deleting my old account,

Adding a new one selecting "Microsoft Exchange",

"Signing in using microsoft"

Just checking you read .... go into Outlook settings and forward your hotmail to any other email that you pick up in Mac Mail.
This was my solution. It works.

When you set up your mail again using Exchange, what did you put for the fields "Internal URL" and "External URL?"
