- Check in Internet Explorer under Tools/Internet Options/Security that
the user has not changed the password setting from 'prompt for username
and password' to 'anonymous logon' in internet zone. The option setting
for anonymous logon may cause the error.

I have a hotmail account which I have been using OE6 to download the
mail for years. I am in the process of switching notebooks and am
unable to download hotmail on the new notebook. I have checked the
settings on both computers to be sure they agree (both OE6 and IE).

On the new pc I get a window asking for username and password which it
never accepts. Eventually I get the error "access to the account was
denied" with an error number of 80004005 or 800ccc32.

I have check to be sure that ie security has hotmail.com as 'always
accept' for cookies.

It still works fine on the old PC just not on the new.

Any help would be appreciated.
