Outlook Express + Hotmail = continuous prompting for password

[XMan]

The thing is, the password is correct. My E-mail will download into my Outlook Express inbox, but it will pause every few moments and ask me to confirm my password. VERY annnoying.

Anyone ever had this problem?

Weirdest thing....my Outlook 2000 started doing this today...for no apparent reason. But I'm guessing it's an @home problem.

Got the same problem....got sick of it and deleted hotmail account.
Why did this happen....anybody?

 

[Dig]

usually happens to me when my email server isn't working...try again in an hour or so.

LOL, I once used that thing you call...Outlook Express. What a crappy piece of software. Then I found Netscape Messenger. Now this is a email client. Lets me do what I want when I want, no BS. I suggest you all switch over.

BAH. Netscrape is too buggy and the email client does not have the advanced filtering features of OE.

Netscape=Virus

As far as HoTMaiL and Outlook Express go, the constant user/pass prompting means that a server somewhere is down. I'd be willing to bet that you could go through the HoTMaiL web page and everything works fine there. Ever notice how OE tries to go to oe.hotmail.msn.com?

Anyhoo, Outlook (not Express) is the best e-mail+PIM program bar-none.
