No email to one of two Hotmail accounts since 28 April 26

Mike M

I have 2 hotmail accounts - one gets mail as normal the other stopped on 28 April. Checked and settings are same for both except actual email address name. Till 28 April both worked normally. Haven't tried either starting another account for the problem name or deleting existing as don't want to lose anything. Haven't updated to latest version for same reason. How to fix please?? Cheers and thanks

Dont delete your account as Thunderbird will not let you reactivate that account. Just tried as having same problem with my hotmail emails and all i get now is Unable to login at server, probably wrong configoration or password, no all data is correct just will not allow me to reinstate my hotmail email on thunderbird. So either Microsoft have changed something or Mozilla have but neither will own up to that fact. So basically it appears hotmail is not compatable with Thunderbird for som unknown reason anymore.
