Can not add or send/receive existing "live.com" mail account. It use to work

My "live.com" account got hacked. Microsoft restored it. However, a few days after restoration the ability to send/receive mail suddenly stopped, it was it working before.

I can send/receive via a web browser, Gmail, Outlook but NOT Thunderbird. I can send/receive all other email accounts in Thunderbird (i.e., @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @gmx.com, etc.) but not the "live.com" account any longer. I keep getting the following messages when trying to add it to a new Thunderbird installation: 

    Username or password invalid
    Configuration could bit be verified-is the username or password wrong?

The username and password are correct. I've even changed my password a number of times hoping that would help.

ADDITIONAL MESSAGES: On another installation, (where it use to work and I still have all of my folders), I get the following messages: 

    Sending of password for user myaddr@live.com did not succeed. 
    Mail server pop3.live.com responded: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

  Login to server pop3.live.com with username myaddr@live.com failed.
  The username and password are correct.

I've spent weeks, actually, working with Microsoft trying to get it to work, to no avail. Again, I can send/receive through other mail clients, but I like my Thunderbird. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance. C.
