i cannot setup my hotmail on galaxynote 2

[AC Question]

i have a samsung galaxy note 2 with hotmail account on it then suddenly it stopped working, i could not send or receive from it so i deleted it and tried to setup it again as IMAP but i always get the message ''setup could not finish authentication failed''
although i wrote all the data correctly like my correct email in the field of email address and username and my password (which i renewed it on my pc and i dont have a 2 step verification process) and impap server: imap-mail.outlook.com and security type: ssl and port: 993
and i cleared the cache and data of the email applications from the settings of the phone
so what shall i do to solve this problem
thanks

In which ever email app used, go to settings > exchange server settings > exchange server and change it from "m.hotmail.com" to "m.outlook.com".
