Default Outlook 2003, MAPI, Hotmail, Outlook Connector blocks changing port from 25 to 587 for sending mail

Verizon sent me an e-mail saying to change Outlook to port 587 for
sending mail, but when I try to adjust the settings in Outlook 2003 for a
Hotmail Account, I just get the Username/Password prompt from Outlook
Connector and it won't let me advance to more settings. I was able to
change it for a Verizon Account no problem.


Of course you can't change it for the Hotmail account. Verizon's
information was for a POP account using their service, not Hotmail's.

Thank you. I'll cross my fingers that there won't be a problem 2 weeks from
now when Verizon closes port 25.
