O.E. 6 problem Synchronizing Hotmail account after upgrading to I.

[Guest]

For years I've been using my hotmail account on Outlook Express. With the
recent development of Internet Explorer 7, I thought I'd give it a try, but
unfortunately my laptop doesn't appear to be able to synchronize with hotmail
anymore. Since upgrading everytime I add my hotmail account to Outlook
Express 6, it keeps asking for my password. I guarentee you that my password
and the settings on my hotmail account have not changed. I can easily gain
access to Hotmail through the website, just not through Outlook Express. The
error I am given is "0x800CCC32". After researching this, I've tried
everything possible, but nothing enables me to keep using it as I have been
for years before.

Interestingly enough, my desktop is still able to synchronize (even with
Internet Explorer 7), what can possibly be going wrong? Please help? I depend
on my laptop and email for my business and without Outlook working properly
my business and I will be heavily deprived. For one to say, just use hotmail
from the web-based website, I for some reason can't send messages, no matter
what computer I'm on. If I send a message through the actual website, it will
go through the proper steps of sending it, but never actually send it, even
though it says "message sent" - I need Outlook Express to cue up with
hotmail, please help

1) Ask in the correct newsgroup:

2) If it's a free Hotmail account, you may be out of luck.
