This is a strange one. I've looked in this newsgroup and did a Google
search, and tried everything suggested, and it still doesn't work.

As suggested, I created a profile just for Hotmail. I told it to prompt for
my password. After I start Outlook and specify my password, it shows me the
correct number of unread messages. When I click on the "Inbox in Hotmail"
folder, it shows me all the headers. But when I select the latest e-mail,
the reading pane says "This item cannot be displayed in the Reading Pane.
Open the item to read its contents." When I double-click the item, it says
"Can't open this item". When I mark the item for download and then use
"Process Marked Headers in this Folder", I get an error 0x8007007E.

So I turned on mail logging and looked at the http0.log and http1.log files.
There were no errors and it seemed to be getting all the information it
requested. The only thing I noticed was that the content of the e-mail
messages was not showing up in the logs. I figured this was probably the
intended behavior.

Being an "Internet Developer", I fired up ProxyTrace (from
http://pocketsoap.com) and set my IE connection settings to go through that
proxy. I then tried again, and got a very interesting result - Hotmail was
sending the entire e-mail message which Outlook wouldn't show me! I
confirmed this by copying the e-mail message out of the ProxyTrace display
and pasting it into an empty HTML file. It's a slow way to read my e-mail,
but it worked!

So, if anyone has any ideas on this, I'd appreciate hearing them. Although
this is specific enough for a Support Incident, I'm not even supposed to be
running Outlook 2003 yet, so I'm not going to spend an incident fixing a
problem Outlook has with reading my personal mail!

Thanks,
John Saunders
"Internet Developer"

No clues, anyone?

I don't know but I'm having the same problem getting into
my 2 mail accounts - neither of which are Hotmail.

This has only started since I loaded the latest outlook
security patch and Office 2000 SP3.

I have just ran a repair on Office and it works fine now.

I also have this problem. After much swearing and banging about I decided to use 'Outlook express' as my e-mail reciever. This works fine, however, it is a bit basic after using 'MS Office Outlook'.I can still use MS Office Outlook to send mail with no problem.
If anyone can resolve this, please let us know.
Microsoft, you've done it again.
