Outlook and Outlook Express are not the same application. This is an
Outlook Express-specific newsgroup.

904942 was released quite some time ago. It should address your problem.

Hello everyone,

I need confirmation witha recent issue... Earlier this week I finally
decided to update Internet Explorer to Version 7.0, figuring I waited long
enough... I completed the download and install, and it seemed to work
fine...

That is, until I decided to check my latest emails using Outlook...

I am still not having problems when looking into my Comcast and AOL
emails,
but the problems started when I noticed that I was not connecting to my
Hotmail account... I checked the progress window, and it showed a
'Warning'
indication when it tried to access my Hotmail account, but no error
message
was displayed...

Also, when I tried looking into Hotmail Inbox, I kept getting an 'Unknow
Error has occured; message...

Has anyone else run into this issue?

While looking into the Outlook Support page, I found the following
article:

'Authentication fails when you use Outlook or Outlook Express to try to
log
on to an HTTP-based mail server if you use Internet Explorer 7'

To make a long story short, it is indicating to download and install a
'fix'
hey have for this problem... Has anyone tried this fix? And for those
who
have, did it solve their problem?

Any info would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Eddie
