I used Outlook 2003 a couple hours ago. I'm now marker forbidden @ the

To my knowledge I changed nothing.

William, I too have received the following error message today from Outlook
when trying to open emails or to send them:
Task 'Hotmail - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC33) : 'Access to the
account was denied. Verify that your username and password are correct.The
server responded 'Forbidden'. ' Does anyone know why this is happening? Is
it linked to Outlook connector as I downloaded and installed this programme
some time ago?

Although I have known for months about the pending change with the
MSN/Windows Live servers, I did not change my settings for a Hotmail account
I used to access with MS Outlook Express. Today I fired it up and get:

| Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
| Account: 'Hotmail',
| Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',
| Protocol: HTTPMail,
| Server Response: 'Forbidden',
| Port: 0,
| Secure(SSL): No,
| Server Error: 998,
| Error Number: 0x800CCC33

And also:

| Header download for the 'Inbox' folder did not complete.
| Account: 'Hotmail',
| Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',
| Protocol: HTTPMail,
| Server Response: 'Forbidden',
| Port: 0,
| Secure(SSL): No,
| Server Error: 998,
| Error Number: 0x800CCC33

In addition, this pops up:

|Outlook Express X|
| /!\ Access to the account was denied. Verify that your username and
| password are correct.
|
| Forbidden
|
| Configuration:
| Account: Hotmail
| Server: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
My username, and password are, of course, quite correct. The problem is, and
there are always those who fail to get the word (in this case, possibly by
ignoring several email warnings sent by MSN/Windows Live) about pending
changes. Today MSN/Windows Live threw a switch, and WebDAV, the magic in MS
Outlook Express, and some other MS email clients, died.

Use POP3. That is the prescribed method of access for Hotmail accounts, when
the client is unable to use DeltaSync, the replacement for WebDAV.
