Trying to setup an Outlook email address

Thunderbird Send and receive email

I tried the automated setting up - several times but get the error message below, I tried changing the authentication but same result.

I tried the Help here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-hotmail - but it didn't help!

I have the settings it shows for Outlook - but it doesn't work! When I "Continue" I get Authentication error. Show less

"Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.". It hasn't asked for a password.

I can login in to Outlook webmail and receive messages. Please help. I'm not overly technical but not totally ignorant either! Thanks, Isobel
