hotmail changed a few years back to charge for the use of POP - have you paid to use hotmail with pop
or is this a very very old email account

This is an old account, and until today I havn't had a problem.

have you checked all the settings correctly - sometimes a virus scanner can change the default settings

I believe you can no longer use Outlook Express to check Hotmail accounts..

Hi

My Hotmail also stopped working after reinstalling XP and downloading IE7. I have an old free hotmail account that can access http mail in outlook for free stil.

I was also getting an error saying my login was incorrect (error 0x800ccc32) After much searching I found this fix and it sorted mine out!

Scroll down to the bottom and download and install the fix for XP.

Once you have restarted your PC, your outlook will work with its preset hotmail settings

hope it works for you too. Katy
