Hi, I have an ongoing problem with my hotmail account, which I believe
   is now under the auspices of Microsoft Live.

   I have 3 iMacs shared side by side and keep getting at random times on
   either of them a warning “Mail Password Required, Enter password for
   “xxxxxxxx” in Internet Accounts” and the Internet Accounts box opening.

   I have Microsoft changed my password, gone to the
   [1]outlook.live.com page and opened up the hotmail/live mail there, so
   the password is good.

   I have then come back to System Preferences>Internet Accounts, selected
   the hotmail account and put the same password in the “Password” box and
   emails arrive as per normal. I have then sent a test email from my Mac
   Mail email to the hotmail and it arrived instantly.

   In the All Inboxes of the Mac Mail next to the hotmail account there is
   a 1 showing that one new email has arrived, there in no tilde
   indicating that hotmail is offline.

   Then the warning pops up again!

   Is there a way to resolve this? Or do I just live with it seeing as the
   emails are still getting through?

   Any suggestions welcome.

   Matthew Falvey
