O.P. won't keep signed in, telling me password is incorrect, when correct
Hi there!  First time using a forum, so I hope I'm in the right spot.

I've been using msn/microsoft messenger for years - have always clicked on the mail icon in messenger, to get to my hotmail account.  Except today, it won't let me.

I click on the icon, and whereas it used to take me to my inbox, today it says: "The email address or password is incorrect. Please try again."

It's not.  I know everybody says that, but it's not - when I type the password in and select "keep me signed in" - it logs in and I can access my inbox, so the password is correct.

Except - when I try again, to access a new email... it takes me right back to the incorrect password page.  I have to keep entering the password every time I get a new email, despite selecting "keep me signed in."  Not to mention, the password is correct.

I have reset the password.  I have cleared all internet history.  I have uninstalled and re-installed messenger.

I'm using Messenger 8.0.1, on a Mac.  I was on holiday last week and signed into my inbox, but I *did* sign out.  And my password still works, so I don't think anybody has altered it.  I can only assume that I'm somehow still logged in, somewhere, somehow?

My computer rage is driving me mad at the moment, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
