Im using hotmail as my only email sevice I had until recently been downloading it into outlook express. But i had to reset my passwords for hotmail after being hacked on a community site. so i changed my passwords on all items i use including hotmail. I can access my hotymail from thier web page, but when i open outllook express andi have correctly changed my password there. when i try to recive and send i get a login box appear for both the pop3 and smtp logins my settings have not been reset to my knowlege for this email account within outlook express. Port setting for botn stmp and pop 3 are correct SMTP = 587 and POP3=995 yet the login box asking for both email and password appears if i cancel that the errore message i get is as follows:There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'pop3.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authentication failed', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92So is this my problem or hotmails server I look forwaRD TO HEARING AN ANSER

Ok i have looked at the linkand all my settings are correct but I still get a window pop up one for POP3 and one for SMTP asking for my email address and password if i want to send or recive my haotmail through outlook express. I dont want to have to redo windows buy this seems to be my only other opertunity.Someone on facebook managed to hack me this is why i changed my password for my email. I firstly changed it ot windows live then my messenger. Then finally came to outlook express and changed it correctly since thne my outlook express wont allow me to download or send because itr does not seem to want to accept my email address or password which are both correct and still oepn windows live hotmail and also my messenger. So where am i going wrong ???????
