I have been accessing my Hotmail account via POP3 on gmail for many years

and 2 days ago it suddenly stopped working.


message

Authentication error.
Server returned error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."


I have tries using POP server: pop3.live.com

and also POP server: outlook.office365.com

however the same message appears each time

Server denied POP3 access for the given username and password.
Please contact Microsoft's Support Team for more information on POP access.


I have checked in hotmail that the option to "Let devices and apps use POP" is ticked YES


I have checked and re-checked the email address and password in hotmail and they are both correct and work fine.


Please can anyone help?
