Hotmail Problems

Hi all. I've had my hotmail successfully working for the last few months, but suddenly it kept chucking up an error message about login being incorrect. I removed the account and am now trying to add it back but keep getting "Authentication failed/ Please verify your username/password". I am able to log into xbox.com, msn messenger, hotmail on pc so the above details are definitely being entered correctly.

Incoming
pop/pop3.live.com/ssl/995

outgoing
smtp/smtp.live.com/ssl/25

Any ideas? It's been working before today with no problems.
 
For incoming I have:
pop3.live.com
Then security is SSL and port 995.

Outgoing I have:
smtp.live.com
Then security TLS and port 587

Hope that helps.
 
Anyone know how to setup exchange ActiveSync for hotmail? I use server m.hotmail.com and gets as far as choosing what to sync then It fails to setup user account.
 
Thank you for your reply, but it still doesn't work. Whether I click "next" to get the settings automatically, or enter them in manually I can't get onto the next screen. Just keep getting that "Authentication Failed" message. :(
