Thanks for chiming in here, winston.

@map: Do this, too:

IE (yes, IE) Tools | Internet Options | Privacy | Sites| type in

live.com
msn.com
hotmail.com

and Allow cookies for each domain, in turn (i.e., do it 3 times, once for
each domain).

For [map]:
a: If you successfully used pop3.live.com in the past you have an msn.com
legacy account or a Windows Live Hotmail Plus account. (See section V: (a)
and (b) b. Your error message(authorization) indicates a few possible
items
- corrupt account in OE (to fix, remove and create new, do not import
using an iaf file) - not using the full in the incoming
mail server
username field and the outgoing mail server field. Separately ensure the
correct password is entered and the check box to
remember enabled. Explicit instructions for pop3 account setup can be
found here.

c. Fyi...there are no legacy pop3 accounts from 1995 that are
name.live.com accounts, they are all accounts.
