Hi,

I'm sure I've seen this before but I was wondering if anyone knew how
to fix
it....

When I send email using the web front end for Hotmail it all works OK
and
mail gets delivered as expected. However, when I use outlook or
outlook
express, even though it goes into the sent folder it can take from
2-20 days
to get delivered.

Here's an email header of one I sent to my own domain which is
forwarded back
to my Hotmail account. As you can see, for some reason the Hotmail
server
held on to it for 8 hours or so...

The problem is on MSN/Hotmail's end, Paul, not yours. It's been an
ongoing
problem for over 6 weeks now.

Some say mail to addressees who are also in your Contacts list isn't
as
affected. YMMV.

Tell Hotmail about it: support@hotmail.com & support@msn.com.
Hope this helps you.

Hi, despite having scanned for parasites, my OE6 is still taking ages
to download messages from hotmail and opening them even though I have
set for automatic downloading and viewing messages. Often times I get
unknown error messages with configuration details only. It also takes
just as long to remove any messages. What else can I do?
