I have been using the stock email app on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.2) to access one of my Hotmail accounts for almost a year now and I never had any problems. Suddenly about two or three weeks ago it stopped working, meaning that I could not send or receive e-mails. My old e-mails were still viewable, but it was useless to me when I could not reply, create a new e-mail, or receive any new e-mails.
My gmail account, which I set up on the same stock email app continues to work flawlessly, so it seems like the problem is not with the app. I tried downloading the "Outlook.com" app and I was able to successfully connect to my e-mail account with that; but I really don't like the format of that app. I went back to my "stock" email app and removed the Hotmail account and tried to add it back again, but it gets stuck at the last part where it says "Waiting for Sync: Your email will appear soon" and the spinning icon just spins endlessly with no e-mails ever showing up.
I know I am putting in my correct username and password because I can log in to my Hotmail account using the web browser.
My strong suspicion is that you guys (Microsoft) changed something on your end that broke it. Can you fix it?
