I continually received the following pop up window "Sending of password for user ######@hotmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop3.live.com responded: Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password."

How do I fix?

This might be an incorrect password or incorrect server setting. I think microsoft accounts need app password. It may help to also post screenshot of server settings.

MS accounts don't need app passwords unless the mail app doesn't support OAuth authentication.

Use these settings for hotmail/outlook.com/live accounts:
