TB doesn't recognize my password. Changed my msn password but TB still refuses to accept it.

Suddenly TB stopped accepting my password. One thread suggested changing my account password at msn. I tried that but when I enter the correct msn password I get the following error. "Sending of password for user odehart_5@msn.com did not succeed. Mail server pop3.live.com responded: Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password. [Error="ProxyNotAuthenticated" AuthResult=0 Proxy=BY2PR15MB0456.namprd15.prod.outlook.com:1995:SSL]" I can access mail in Outlook but not in TB. If it helps I've also had trouble with TB not deleting emails from the server.

Go to the Microsoft site and turn POP access back on. Their new trick is to disable it.
