Can't check hotmail in outlook express?

[Lord Kalthorn]

one question... arent they all microsoft any way (OE and hotmail/msn) so whats the benefit to microsoft for making 2 of their programs incompatiable????

They haven't; they just want the MSN Premium and Hotmail Extra Storage users to have more power for their 2Gigs of Space; and so they have cut down the Outlook Connectivity in order to supply that. There is a two month freebee on MSN Premium is anybody's interested, at least in the UK there're probably more in other countries, here.

You're using Hotmail?

Did anyone read up on it all...
I am running Windows XP Pro
with M$ Outlook
i have one of the free hotmail accounts that was changed over to 250MB
and i am running bell sympatico.

I'm still using outlook to check my hotmail account.
maybe its still working for long-term OE users or long-term accounts.
Like I said above i've had the account for 7 years now.
maybe its something for sympatico members? After all sympatico and MSN joined forces.

That would make sense.
