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

Hi! You are probably referring to my previous post:
In the link you provide, it says: "When you add an email account to Mail on your Mac, choose Microsoft Exchange for email accounts that end with onmicrosoft.com and for accounts that end with outlook.com, hotmail.com, or live.com."
I've already done this as I said in my first post: even choosing Microsoft Exchange doesn't work (it works for a few hours and then the problem comes back).
I've probably tried every possible combination (manually, automatically, with or without login and pass, etc.) but it did not work. I hope it will be different for you but I doubt it (it may work for a few days but then the problem will come back).
