Outlook 2003 and Hotmail

[Ken Zenachon]

OL2K3 does not play nicely with Hotmail, regardless of what the
marketing people want you to believe.

Every time I fire up OL2K3 and do a global "Send and Receive" I get an
error list like this: www.raindayspa.ca/emailerrors.gif
On a mass email recieve like that, my Hotmail folders almost never
populate.

I assure you my passwords and logins are correct -- after closing the
error window I can access the HM accounts individually and OL2K3 will
retrieve the mail. What's more, Hotmail access is still slow.

In contrast, OE6 integrates hotmail without any fusses. You'd think
that MS's enterprise email application could keep with their own free
software.

Ok, so, like, am I some sort of pariah?

You're not a pariah I assure you. I have the same problem with one of my
Hotmail account in Outlook 2003. It almost ALWAYS tells me invalid password
but when I click the individual folder it syncs up just fine. As you said,
I hope MS fixes this so that Outlook and Hotmail will play nice.
