Thunderbird doesn't retrieve hotmail emails.

I'm using Thunderbird for email and it's worked without flaw for maybe a decade. As of a few days ago it's not connecting to the Hotmail server to retrieve emails. Initially it had forgotten and asked for the password and when that was entered, and checked remember password, it connected and downloaded emails. Now it's not even doing that. Could someone please let me know what my Connection security and Authentication method should be set to? Currently it's SSL/TLS and OAuth2. I've tried every possible combination with no success. The sever is pop3.live.com and the port is 995. Thanks for any help.
