Cannot receive Hotmail messages

I have just altered my Hotmail settings in Thunderbird to take account of the Microsoft OAuth2 requirements. I can still send from Hotmail but cannot receive (download) incoming messages.

When I open Thunderbird, or check for email, I see the text "******@hotmail.com: Host contacted, sending login information......." at the bottom but no messages are downloaded, and eventually the text disappears (I know there are messages waiting as I can see them using the Outlook app)

My server settings are; Server type : POP Mail Server Server name: pop-mail.outlook.com Port: 995 User name: ******@hotmail.com Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2

I have tried restarting both my PC (Windows 10) and Thunderbird, but the problem persists. Help please!

Thanks for your reply, here's what I get. I can't quite post it all as it's over the character limit but I will post the rest separately;
