Windows live mail stopped downloading my emails after I changed my password due to a hacking attempt

26. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
I received an email from Microsoft saying I requested to change my password (I hadn't). It was sent to my correct email address, but the the request was not from any of my email accounts.

i changed my password & set up 2 step verification. I successfully got this email working again on my smartphone as well.

However, I use Windows Live Mail for all my hotmail/live emails & no matter what I've done, I can't get it to connect to the email with the changed password. 
I deleted the account & added it again. I re-installed my Windows Live programs. I've tried to follow the advice on this help section.

In the error message that I get when trying to receive from this email account, it says there is an error, but there is nothing written in the white space that normally has the error info.

Can Microsoft re-set this account?

Thanks!
