I am relived that my paranoia is not unreal but actually justified. Thanks
for the return and I agree with you 1000%.
Your suggestions awaken some old ideas and I think our problem might be
related to an entirely different area. The Users Accounts. First I
noticed in my others computers that they were signed up to a .NET
passport with my default email address and server and in doing so, they
are also signed out to Windows Live. As you, I have multiple email
addresses, and all 8 of them were recorded in the "Manage my network
passwords" of my user account. I do not get messages in those.
So I added mi hotmail account, the default for this laptop, as my NET
passport and SO FAR, SO GOOD.
You might want to try the same.
Hope that others with the same problem might find relieve, even as I am
educating unhelpful and uncooperative MVP with close minds. I could have
send this just to you, but others with the same problem might not
benefit.
Cheers.

I was just explaining that what support MSN has for Outlook is totally

unclear with regards to just what kind of account you have, but
whatever it
is, your issue is with MSN, not Outlook.

If you feel that way, I am sorry.
The fact is that I have 2GB of storage and yes, I also have the
connector,
but I saw no great advantage and even complicating and slowing the
mail
delivery. Thus I deleted it. This was the product of a very helpful
support call, about 6 months ago, for other problem. But I was not
using
2007 yet.
Having also a premium msn.com address, I see little advantage on a
premium
hotmail and they did agree with me at that time.
Sorry I bother you.
I see nothing here that would qualify you for ongoing support from
hotmail
unless you upgraded to a paid premium account and are using the
connector
they provide. You need to take this issue up with them. It is not an
Outlook issue.

Good point.
My hotmail account is a legacy one, which I have since the early
times
of HM in the 1990s. I am also a MSN subscriber. Because of that and
since the early days of a fee for hotmail, I was not only exempted
of
charges, but was given full storage capacity. And yes, it has been
always fully supported by Outlook (of any flavor) for the same
reason,
even under W95.
It is configure as an HTTP and to the following server:
HOTMAIL SERVER:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
Out of 11 computers of different OS and Outlook flavors, only the
one
with 2007 exhibit the behavior, irrespective of the ISP, as I use a
different one when I am in Europe.
Thanks for your interest,
Cheers

We are not ignorant, as you suggested. My point was that to
troubleshoot this further we must know why your hotmail account
should
be supported by Outlook (e.g., is it a paid premium account?) and
if so
how you configured it for Outlook 2007.

Thanks for the honest comment. The only observation I have is
that it
does not occur with O2003, OXP or O2K, which I also use in others
computers. Why with O2007?
Cheers.

You are assuming this is an Outlook problem. You have provided
no
evidence to that effect. You are, after all, using Hotmail.

messageGentlemen,
When Outlook 2007 open and mail is downloaded, there is a
recurrent
showing
of a small window of the internet E-Mail for my Hotmail,
showing
the server
and requesting my User Name andPasswordevery time. It does not
make any
difference if I check every the "RememberPassword" check box.
Them
it keep
coming back sometimes 2 or 3 times before it gets accepted
(?). My
DSL
connection is good at 6 mB. The OS is XP-SP2 on a new T60p
Thinkpad.
The server URL is already entered in the Trusted list. Is
there
anything I
can do to stop this stupid thing?
Grateful for your advice.
Cheers.
It is an issue with Outlook 2007 even though the "expert" on here
swears it isn't. I have the same problem on a trial of Outlook 2007
on Win XP SP2 and it prompts me for password regularly regardless of
account type(pop, imap, http). I have searched for months since I
first tried Outlook 2007 and it did this so I went back to 2003. I
love the interface of 2007 but I can't see paying money just to(there
it went again asking for 10 different passwords so it is that often
through out the day and it interupts whatever else you're doing)enter
passwords into all seperate accounts. If I wanted to do that I'd
check them all through their individual interfaces instead of one nice
all in one spot. Anyway I don't know how to fix it yet, I've done all
the things suggested for this problem on all other versions of Outlook
and none have fixed it so far. I think it may have something to do
with the fact that 2007 is more or less intended for Vista and from
what I've read it doesn't use the Protected Storage Reg key starting
with "S" that you see in all the other post on MS and they want you to
take permission of and delete. A couple things people say fixes it
for them(not me unfortunately but maybe for you) are to take
permission over that reg key and under advanced make it inherit
parental permissions but don't delete it. That worked for one guy I
came accross. Another guy said when he disabled the instant search it
fixed it for him(do that in the tools trust center. Anyway it is a
problem with Outlook and not your super oldschool Hotmail account. It
does it with my old(one of the first like yours) and with new ones
that I run through hotpop on a 127.0.0.1 proxy and every pop3 and
every imap and has NOTHING to do with hotmail. Hope one of the fixes
I have found help you, as for me back to Outlook 2k3 again
