Negative Vibes from hotmail Live

Hi,
             I use Thunderbird and as well as having Plusnet email accounts, I have a Yahoo and Hotmail live Account as well set up to download into Thunderbird client.
all works well but not the Live account, for some reason I've started to get negative vibes when checking my mail on that particular account, Yahoo works fine. I've got the latest extensions and have not changed any settings since installing some months ago. I used to have the old hotmail account but went over to the Live one because of problems with set up. All has worked well up to now.
Has anyone come across this before and if so could anyone suggest what may have gone wrong, I can send mail from that account OK.
regards
jono

Re: Negative Vibes from hotmail Live

Sorry should have put full message, as follows
Sending the password did not succeed Mail server local host responded negative Vibes from ( then my email Address)
When I click on that message I get a box asking for my password which i type in and I know it is correct but it comes back with negative vibes message again.

Try logging directly into your Hotmail account from your browser, you might find a welcome page for an upgrade or similar [can't remember exactly]. Clear that and access your inbox etc. Go back to your Thunderbird and renter your password again when prompted. You may find the negative waves go away then.

Re: Negative Vibes from hotmail Live

hi thanks for the info, I have Googled and found some answers and indeed tried them but with no results, the welcome message was there Santiago, I thought great that's it but I got rid by ticking box but still no luck, I've even found more up to date extensions again and loaded, still wont work.
I'll keep on with it and if I find an answer I'll post back.

Re: Negative Vibes from hotmail Live

hi to all, I have tried everything and the only thing that worked is removing the account all together and reinstalling it. It worked straight away, why it should do that I don't know but thanks for the help anyway, how long it will last this time i don't know.

Re: Negative Vibes from hotmail Live

Got the same issue but I am already with the up to date add-ons.
To clear the issue I had to go to my hotmail account and tick the box to avoid the display of the message page i.e. the one which shows once you have logged in and which is before your actual email page.

Re: Negative Vibes from hotmail Live

Hi patrice, I tried all that but still had the problem until reinstalling that particular account, it seems to be a fairly common problem but not always the same solution for everyone, What triggers it I don't know.
