[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

Probably because Hotmail access in Outlook 2007 has been disabled unless you
are using a paid account????

I'm having the same problem as of March 14th although I'm subscribed to
Hotmail Extended Storage and pay a yearly fee!

Have you applied KB904942? http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=904942

Thanks Brian
I have applied KB904492. It worked the first time then the problem
re-appeared after a couple of days and the patch stopped working!

Why am I suddenly having trouble connecting to my hotmail account, up until
yesterday, it worked fine?

When trying to synchronize headers, I get the error, "The service is
currently unavailable. Try again later. The server responded 'Service
Unavailable."

However... I can get to my hotmail account if I use the IE browser interface
and login directly to my hotmail account. So I know the service is working at
this time.

And... I have another hotmail account setup as an email account within
Outlook and this hotmail account is working fine.

I am running MS Office Outlook 2003.
