I clearly have the correct User Name (my primary e-mail address) and password combination to sign into my Microsoft account because I am logged in to this website using that information. I can also use that to log in on the msn homepage, outlook.com website and live.com website. If I go into outlook .com, I can receive and send e-mail and access my calendar. So I know I am using the correct combination of email address and password.
HOWEVER, when I open my Windows Live Mail (WLM) program on the desktop, it commences to fetch my mail and attempts to automatically sign me in to the Microsoft account to synchronize with the cloud. It fails. I get an error message saying, "The email address or password is incorrect. Please try again."
I have typed and re-typed the email address and password dozens of times to no avail. I have told WLM to remember me. I have told WLM to forget me. I have reset (changed) my password several times. Nothing has let me sign in via WLM. Once again, after all this, I can get to outlook.com and log into the msn homepage with the current password, while WLM refuses to accept it.
