Re: OE to access Hot Mail account

Did you create the hotmail account using an old Hotmail address, or are you using a new one created when you joined MSN? Try creating an account and use an old Hotmail address if you had one that worked in Outlook Express. If you are attemtping to use a new Hotmail account with a new user name, it will not work unless you pay for the service.

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped. No one gets paid to help here, and the response rate from those that are helped is less than 4-5%. If that were how medical advancements were made we would all have died years ago. Thanks.

I have Windows XP Home Edition. I have a name@xxxxxxx account The last time I
was able to access my account through OE was (as I recall) back in January or
February AFTER I switched my MSN service to Sprint DSL. I then got the notice
that "Hotmail no longer allows emal access via Outlook Express for free email
accounts". Then I received this message from msn ...
"We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued
customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt
from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to
those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express."
Well, it's not working. I have been contacting msn support for 3-4 months
both by phone & email, with no luck! Is it a matter of reconfiguring my OE
account? Any suggestions? Thanks for answering!!!!

Windows version?

Is it a name@xxxxxxxxxxx account or a name@xxxxxxx account?

When was the last time you accessed the account in OE? At www.hotmail.com?
