Unable to verify account name or password

I am having trouble with my hotmail account on my Mac and my iPhone.. It keeps asking me for the password and when I enter it, I get the message 'Unable to verify account name or password'. For what ever reason, for a brief minute to night it worked and then after a minute it went back to the issue again...

I have been looking at the different forums online, but nothing seems to be able to tell me how to fix it... About 20 minutes ago, mu other email accounts that I run through mail on the Mac are now doing the same.

I have yo go to the web to get my emails and this is a pain as I run 3 different accounts.. I may have missed something, but I am not tech savvy... Any help would be grateful!!!

Hi,

I was having the same issue, and I finally solve it!

I followed the steps in this link (http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/set-up-hotmail-on-mac-os-x-3628423/) to basically change the domain of my hotmail account to outlook.com, then I followed the regular process to add an account on mac mail and it worked!

Hope it helps :)
