Thanks, I opted in to Live Mail. My initial pass thru it says "nice".....but
it alone doesn't do what I need.
I use the OE address book extensively. I have considerable info in it
beyond just email addresses. I send out newsletters to a couple of groups
(close to 100 addresses in each group), the addresses and groups are easy to
maintain inside OE. I also include photos imbedded in the newsletters.
Often my emails are lengthy, taking some time to compose, which I do offline
(I am mobile 100% of the time and getting online for lenthy periods is not
always available).
OE allowed me to do all these things handily and OFFLINE. I didn't see
these abilities inside Live Mail.
Any recommendation for a tool that will allow me to do these things, and
that will work with IE 7. I see Firefox mentioned a lot, will it work?
By the way, I really like the enhancements that IE 7 has, but I must say
that in purusing the newsgroup I see that it seems to have caused a great
number of problems.
I appreciate your taking the time to help me.

I switched some time ago to using Windows Live Mail for access to Hotmail
because of continuing problems with Outlook Express access. I've heard that
the access via Outlook Express will soon be gone for all users since it
depends on the WebDAV protocol which has some inherent security problems,
but I've not seen anything official that confirms it. But you might want to
try Live Mail. Visit www.live.com for info.

No, I have only one hotmail account. The multiple requests for username
and
password came back as well. I'd guess it is still having a problem
authenicating. I still can get into hotmail by going directly to hotmail,
just not thru OE.

That looks like an error you would get if you were using multiple Hotmail
addresses or if the server has a problem identifying you. Are you
attempting to download for more than one Hotmail account?

When I try and use OE to access hotmail it repeatedly (4 or 5 times)
asks
for
username and password. Then I recieve the following error msg:

OE worked fine until I down loaded IE 7.0 and added an HP PhotoSmart
printer. I do not know if either caused the problem, but they both
occured
at the same time OE quit working.
I tried Knowledge Base, but could not fine the identical error
number.
Did
try a fix wher the error text was the same......but it had no
effrect.
