Hi I received this message :

“The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th”.

I am trying to work out how to rectify the issue but am really confused.  If anyone could help I would be really grateful.  My email is a live.co.uk account and I just click on the blue mail envelope to access it from my laptop/phone etc. Do I need to have an entirely new account or is there way to keep this account but update it as the email I think suggests?  Many thanks in advance.
