Thanks Bruce for your response (I should have gone through earlier posts). As advised, I wrote to support@hotmail.com and got almost immediately their automated response - Thank you for sending an e-mail message to support@hotmail.com. However, this is not a monitored e-mail address. If you are already signed in to your Hotmail account, click "Help" in the upper right corner. This gives you access to our great self-help instructions as well as our automated answer system. If you cannot find your answer in either source, you can easily click a link in Help to contact our MSN Hotmail Customer Support Staff directly.

I tried Help but it was not responding. I then forward my message to support@msn.com and guess what? I got the delivery failure notification. Well, well, well, what next?

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.

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?
