Hi guys,

So for the past 3 years, I've had my college email account linked to Mail on my mac (now running the latest version of SL). Everything has always worked fine, I used to receive and send mail effortlessly.

As of the past week, Mail won't connect. It prompts me to enter my password over and over again, insisting that the server "outlook.com" is rejecting my password. I've tried it dozens of times, making sure I am entering the right password.

The strange part: I have the SAME EXACT settings on my iPhone, and I have no issues whatsoever. I can send and receive mail on it like I have always been doing. What's more, I can use my web browser on my Mac to navigate to my college's home page and use web mail: with the same username and password that Mail on my Mac suddenly rejects.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm going insane here. I've just about tried everything from deleting and recreating my account in Mail, deleting settings in KeyChain, etc. Nothing works. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
