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 Nicola |
