POP3 "The user name or password for pop3.live.com is incorrect"

Hello,


I've been attempting to change my email (Outlook/Hotmail) on my iPad back over from IMAP to POP3 as I like being able to delete on my iPad but still have the emails available on my laptop for later.


I did this on my iPhone without any issues last week but for some reason, even though I'm doing everything the same and entering all the same information it seems, when I try to check my emails on my iPad it's now saying "the user name or password for pop3.live.com is incorrect". I've trawled the message boards and have tried all that I can, including changing my password, deleting and re-adding the account, restarting my iPad etc. but nothing works.


Please help me this is bugging me no end!


Thanks!


Emily 🙂

iPad, iOS 8
