Been out of action for 5 days and just started working again.
If you have the account settings set to remember your account password, try
disabling this in order to prompt for the password, Tools, Accounts, Select
Hotmail account under Mail Accounts, Properties, under the Server tab
untick the box "Remember Password", OK then Close.
Close Outlook Express and then open it back up again and enter password when
prompted.
This is all I did and everything started working again
