POP Peeper Not Working With Hotmail?

Using POP Peeper 4.4.2.0, free edition, with Windows 7.

All of a sudden yesterday POP Peeper started displaying a black exclamation mark within a yellow circle in the System Tray. There appears to be a problem accessing my hotmail.com account.

The error given is:
--- Version ---
OS: Windows 7 (x64)
POP Peeper: 4.4.2.0
Webmail: 4.4.4.0
SSL: 1.0.2.11
IMAP: 4.4.2.0
SendMail: 4.4.2.0

--- Error ---
<username>@hotmail.com [1000: IMAP] ['imap.outlook.com' (993) SSL: 1] [Smtp: 'smtp-mail.outlook.com' (587) SSL: 2] [Consec: 8]
- Error (OAuthAccess empty)
Do I have to do anything with POP Peeper to solve the problem? I am able to access my hotmail.com account with Firefox, so I think that the problem is with POP Peeper...

Edit the account and press the "Oauth2" button and re-authorize POP Peeper access to your account. This may happen occasionally, especially in certain cases (e.g. if you change your password). POP Peeper v4.5 (coming soon) will provide more detailed information about what to do in this case.
