FWIW, I have a MSN Hotmail Plus account. (I pay the yearly fee). I have
been having the same server issues for the past four days or so also.

Is it an MSN Hotmail Plus account? If it is a free MSN Hotmail account,
was
it configured to be used with MSOE prior to Sept. 27, 2004? If the answer
to either question is, "No", then you won't be able to use MSOE to access
the account.

Recently, I falied to receive Hotmail emails via Outlook Express 6, I
got following message:

Have you tried logging in using the webmail interface? Could be the
login procedure is getting interrupted with a security page that
requires you to enter a code shown in a graphical display (to prevent
scripts from reading it and entering the code). Once you login and get
past the intervening security page, logins should work for awhile (until
the intervening security page shows up again to interfere with logging
in when not using the webmail interface). Whether or not your Hotmail
account got grandfathered in to allow continued WebDAV access, I've
heard of this intervening security page showing up for ALL freebie
accounts, new or grandfathered. Supposedly you get rid of it with a
paid account.

Aaaahhh. Yes, I'd forgotten about that one. Happened to me about a month
back with one of my accounts. Damn, I hate those 'guess the code'
security screens. Show up so botched that it isn't just OCR programs that
have trouble with recognition, lol.

I have a grandfathered Hotmail freebie account but I rarely use it. I
used to use YahooPOPs with free Yahoo accounts to give me POP3 access to
the HTTPmail account. However, Yahoo Mail then started implementing the
same intervening security web page that interferes with login. When Yahoo
(or Hotmail) decide to force the intervening security page is unknown (to
me) but it occurs often enough to kill my logins about twice a week (and
logins continue to fail until I use the webmail interface to get past the
security page). It was enough of a nuisance that I abandoned my Yahoo
accounts and went back to real POP3 accounts.

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

I think the problem was all server side. Everything is working normally
again, both at work and home.
