My email suddenly became unavailable to me! I can't even login.

One day, instead of loading new msgs, I got this popup msg: "Sending of password for user jenniwren@live.com did not succeed. Mail server pop3.live.com responded: authentication failed"

Clicking on "OK" gave me this popup msg: "Login to server pop3.live.com failed." and three choice buttons: "Retry" - "Enter new password" - "Cancel"

This has happened off and on over the years, but I can never remember WHY or WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT! Because my email is live.com, I tried accessing the problem there but it only gets worse!

Obviously, emailing me won't be helpful. You could call me at 715-614-0231.
