Outlook Express

[RDH]

I can send and receive using Hotmail.
I can receive using Outlook Express.
I cannot send using outlook express.
the error message is:
The server reported an error. Account:
'http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata', Server:
'http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata', Protocol: HTTPMail,
Server Response: 'Precondition Failed', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Server
Error: 1300, Error Number: 0x800CCC3C

This came up unexpectedy a couple days ago. I use Verizon's DSL.
Verizon tried to help but couldn't.

I would sure like to get back to sending with Outlook Express and would
appreciate any help that may be out there.

Thanks,

Close OE. Use Search to find the Hidden file named 'outbox.dbx'
Delete the file and restart OE

Thanks, Mark, but I searched for outbox.dbx and nothing was found.

I have now cleared practically all stored deleted, sent, spam messages and
the error reads differently;

The host 'imap' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly. Account: 'imap', Server: 'imap', Protocol: POP3, Port:
110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Create a new Identity in OE (File menu) and create a hotmail account to test.
If it works, Import the old messages from the other Identity. The help will
explain that.

Hotmail through Outlook Express was discontinued some time ago, AFAIK.
I believe however, premium accounts are still granted this priviledge.

When it happened , did you try a system restore - have you tried a
restore to the day before it happened ?
