Hotmail (sorry)

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Nortie

Bear with me I'm kind of a newbie. I recently got hotmail as a 2nd account. The account operates fine if I log in at the home page but outlook express shows an error window saying; unable to poll for new messeges on http server
(hotmail) server response 'authorization required'.
I've been thru the wizard many times checking my work and have had a couple of heavyweight computer buddies over and they can't seem to figure it out either. My isp's pop3 acount works fine
I have a newish machine running windows 2000 & dsl, should I get used to prospect of never getting all my accounts in outlook? Thanks for your time everybody, this is a very cool site!

When you say wizard are you reffering to the O.E wirard? Or the MSN Hotmail to Outlook Express wizard? Microsoft has a tool that you HAVE to run inorder to properly import your hotmail - the O.E wizard is not the correct way to accomplish this... I know because I have done it before.. unfortunately I cant remember the link...

I got the MSN support to email it to me
