permissions

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2003 on WindowsXP, have used it for the last 7 months
without a single problem. Last week I tried to download my hotmail emails, as
always, and I got the prompt saying I dont have "permission" to perform that
task. I then input my password in the next prompt and hit enter, but it keeps
asking me for the password. I have tried deleting the account and start all
over again, but nothing works.

For accounts created before the September 27 policy change (that killed
WebDAV access by Outlook [Express] to freebie Hotmail accounts), they
were supposedly to retain WebDAV access until around March 2005. Well,
it's close so maybe Microsoft is cutting off WebDAV access now for
freebie Hotmail accounts. So your choices are to pay for Hotmail's
premium service to regain WebDAV access or to degenerate into just using
their webmail pages to access your freebie account.

Vanguard: Thank you very much for your help, it has been driving me crazy and
I thought something like that might have happened. Guess I will have to pay!
Cheers!

Vanguard: Upon closer look, did you say it is only for Outlook Express or for
Outlook in general?

I said "Outlook [Express]". The bracketed string is optional, so it
means Outlook or Outlook Express. Both those clients support HTTP
(WebDAV) accounts to Hotmail.

Did you try logging on using their webmail login page to ensure that you
are indeed using the correct username and password, and that their
Hotmail service was actually reachable and responsive?

I have logged in to my hotmail account wiht no problems, so the password and
user name are correct. Outlook doesnt let me do anything, and Outlook Express
lets me receive emails but not send any. I subscribed today to Hotmail Plus
and still it is not working.

Try flushing the browser's temp file cache, and also delete files under
your %temp% directory (some might be inuse and cannot be deleted so just
delete those you can that are not inuse).

When you try to send, what is the exact error message that you get? Is
this a separate popup from the progress dialog window, or is it status
for the failure showing withing the progress dialog window?

You might also turn on the troubleshooting log (it gets put in
%temp%\opmlog.log) and check that you even start a session with the mail
server to see if it is the server that doesn't like the USER and PASS
getting sent to it by Outlook or if Outlook itself is bitching without
even trying to establish a mail session.

Have you tried disabling the e-mail scanning feature of your anti-virus
software?

Try deleting and redefining the HTTP (WebDAV) account for Hotmail. If
that doesn't work, try creating a new mail profile, define your Hotmail
account in there, and see if that works.

I’ve had problems with this before. Some ISPs now block server service ports
like

SMTP 25
FTP 20/21

If it isn’t working it is most likely because your ISP is now blocking port
25.
