Outlook Express Error Message Since Installing XP SP2

[David Whiteside]

Since installing XP Service Pack 2, Outlook Express will not download my
family's Hotmail accounts.

The error message is displayed below.

Have deleted accounts and re introduced them, have uninstalled Outlook
Express and Re loaded it, have added it to the Exceptions section in the New
Windows Firewall Utility and all to no avail.

What have I overlooked?

Ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Good Luck!

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.
