   If this is the regular Mail&News password authentication (as opposed to   
   a webpage window for OAuth2) I think this is how some of Microsoft's   
   e-mail servers react when not allowing password authentication, at least   
   I think that's the behaviour I saw after they started phasing out   
   regular password authentication in Hotmail, and before I changed the   
   account in SeaMonkey to use OAuth2.   
      
   If you're using regular password authentication and it's not an   
   "application-specific password" (IIRC these can't be created for   
   Hotmail), try changing the authentication method to OAuth2.   
      
   Do note that you *need* to use "smtp.office365.com" as the server name   
   in order to use OAuth2.   
      
   (But I have no idea if the login page still works decently, last I had   
   to log in was several months ago, they may have changed things...)
