I'm trying to set up Thunderbird to sync with a hotmail account using IMAP protocols, but am unable to log in from T'bird. When I set up the T'bird server settings I followed the manual config instructions as per T'bird help. Also at Outlook help.

When restarting Thunderbird, I get a pop up that says "Login to server imap-mail.outlook.com failed" then prompts to Enter New Password. When I do so it says "Mail Server PW Required for *** Email address is removed for privacy ***@imap-mail.outlook.com ". Is that even an address? When I put in the known good PW (works at Outlook.com) it goes back to the login fail msg, lather-rinse-repeat.
Any clue what I'm doing wrong here?

It's an XP laptop I'm trying to set up for my dad who had a stroke and is in a facility with no public terminals. He's never used his own PC before, using machines at work or the library, so he's just used html page for email, never a client, and has maybe 100 folders (!!) he keeps mail in, and needs to sync to his laptop (hence the IMAP rather than POP3).

Thanks for any help anybody can offer!
