I had exactly the same problem.I completely uninstalled office 2003 and
everything it leaves behind.I then removed my hotmail account from
OUTLOOK EXPRESS.I reinstalled office 2003 and in outlook imported pop3
settings from outlook express.Then I chose which pop3 account was to be
my default.Once I was sure outlook was now sending emails from the
correct pop3 account I then went back to outlook express and added back
in my hotmail account.I have not let hotmail anywere near outlook since
I did this.If I need hotmail I use outlook express.
I have heard that from next spring hotmail will not be available using
outlook or outlook express.Koobla wrote:
