Windows 7:  My Windows Live Mail will not connect with my hotmail account.  I know I have the correct hotmail address and password.  I have tried setting it up in WLM using the automatic setup and I have tried setting it up manually using the default settings and also using the pop-mail.outlook.com +  smtp-mail.outlook.com and using 465 as the outgoing smtp as well as trying 587.  When I try to connect to that hotmail account, it tries to connect then I get the Logon Screen asking for my email address and password.  I type it in correctly, select OK, the logon fades away then immediately reappears and wanting me to logon again.  I put my PW in again and it does the same thing.  When I select Cancel, I get an error message saying: unable to send or receive because of an incorrect password.  I know the password is correct (I've retype it 10 times).  I've also installed the "update" that appeared when I opened WLM a short time ago.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
