I installed IE8 on two computers few days ago one with Outlook and one
with Outlook Express. Now Outlook or Outlook Express will not down load the
hotmail accounts I can only access them by web mail. Anyone else had this
issue?

Hotmail?

Read the post by PA Bear MS MVP for your answer and how to correct this
issue. Today
is Sept 1

You should have received an email from Hotmail telling you about this months
ago. Today's the deadline.



Applies also to Outlook

Microsoft is changing the way Outlook Express users access Hotmail accounts.
This change will require all Hotmail-in-OE users to take action /before/
Tuesday, 01 September 2009.

If you use Outlook Express to access a Hotmail or MSN account, you will need
to set up a NEW MAIL ACCOUNT (OE: Tools | Accounts | Add | Mail) per the
instructions here:

http://windowslivehelp.com/solution...ail-account-to-microsoft-outlook-express.aspx

=> NOTE: In Step #11 on the above page, select Port 587 in the Outgoing
mail (SMTP) box, not Port 25!

=> After you've gotten the new (POP3) account set-up and working properly or
after 01 September, you should REMOVE (delete) your old (WebDAV) Hotmail
account here: Tools | Accounts | Mail.

=> When you access your Hotmail account via POP3, only the messages in your
inbox on the Hotmail web-page (http://mail.live.com) will download into OE.
Furthermore, these messages will download into OE's default Inbox and the
Hotmail-specific set of folders you're used to (cf.
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/i/tr/cms/contentPics/t01220030403shu01_C.gif)
will no longer be available.

Why is this happening? Outlook Express [uses] a legacy communications method
(known as the WebDAV protocol) to access Hotmail. Because the WebDAV
protocol is not optimally suited for programs to access large inboxes such
as Hotmail, new alternatives have been built. Last year, user-feedback led
MS to postpone plans to retire the WebDAV protocol until more options were
available. Now that these options (including POP3 access) are available, MS
is ready to retire the WebDAV protocol.
