OE won't D/L folders for Hotmail

Due to MS's policy change, I had to upgrade my Hotmail accout to use
my Outlook Express.

I've set up (in OE) a brand new account (having deleted the old
account), and OE offers to download the folders from the server, but
they absolutely will NOT come through. I've even left it overnight,
and no luck.

It's been a couple of days now... anyone have any ideas? I've given
up a long time ago about MS's 'help' area - and the knowledge base
didn't help at all.

Thanks,
Jon

Does it work if you set it up in Outlook? Do you get any error messages?

Hotmail is sometimes buggy or the account may not have http turned on yet -
I would delete the account and try again - if it still fails, you'll need
to find a phone number or email address and contact them.

Note this group is for Outlook, not Outlook Express, and while some things
might have the same solution, you'll probably get better answers by asking
in the Outlook Express newsgroup.
