Default Hotmail POP3 login does not work in OE6 since installing IE7

This suggestion fixed the problem. Unfortunately my search of the MS
knowledge base did not return the useful info you provided - one would think
that patches such as this would be included in the latest version of the
downloads.

I have been using the POP3 feature of Hotmail on server
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
for years on both a paid subscription account and a legacy accout. I just
installed IE7 and now the Hotmail password is not accepted. I have
another
computer that is still using IE6 and OE6 and it still accesses the POP3
server without problems.

I have checked the conguration of OE and it is the same on both computers.

Any suggestions?
