I have been using OE6 for Hotmail access. I had been reading synchronizing

loaded by Windows update I am unable to synchronize my INBOX. I now have
to
go to each and every email I want to read offline and open it up so I can
then read it offline. I am unable to force synchronization manually and
get
no error messages.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is this the right place to
discuss this issue. I would be tempted to call microsoft to resolve this
issue but am currently traveling in Ecuador for an extended period. Is
there
a non 800 toll free number to call for Microsoft support?
