Hotmail in mail won't accept password!

I've had my hotmail account running in mail for years without problem. Suddenly mail won't accept my password.

I've checked the password is correct on hotmail.com and even iCloud is picking up my hotmail account ok...

Any ideas anyone?

Regards

Apologies.... outlook.com then....

Still won't accept my password in mail though...

Yes it does..... and iCloud allows me access just not 'mail'
