Live Mail can't Connect

For some reason today I suddenly couldn't open Windows Live mail unless I entered a username and password. Never had that happen before but, they already showed a user name and seven dots for a password so, I just clicked ok...that didn't work. It said username or password was invalid. Then I tried adding my usual email address, [email protected] and the same password and that didn't work either.

After several attempts I gave up wondering what could have happened since last night as there was no problems yesterday...or the day before for that matter. Any suggestions would be appreciated as for now, I can't get into my email. It will go as far as indicating "Authorizing" at the bottom right corner and then nothing until I double click and that's when the box comes up.

Happened to me many times; each time it was the email provider. Wait, in a day or two you should be back to normal.
