I am currently paying for my hotmail account. 19.99 per year. I have
also
recently been using myy outlook express programs to check my e-mail,
and
it
has worked. Today when I did it, a box came up and said invalid, ID,
and
also
asked me to re-type my password and e-mail address. This box constantly
kept
popping up. I have my password saved in the program, but outlook
express
says
the server says it is invalid. I know it is not invalid, because i
signed
in
to my inbox using the hotmail.com, but it still does not work in my
outlook
express. I have also tried resetting my password, but it still says
invalid
unless i use the hotmail site. This really bugs me, and i cant imagine
what
is causing the problem because it has worked before. Please respond
ASAP!
Thank you- Sincerely, a hotmail usser and customer. I need this to
work,
and
dont want to pay 100 dollars to speak to a microsoft professional for
90
minutes...what a rip off....help me out here guys....i am new to this
