OE can be reinstalled, kinda/sorta, but I'd very much doubt it'd fix your
problem.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Win2K SP4).

Do you have any other email accounts running in OE besides the Hotmail
account?

Does OE's Folders pane include the Hotmail-specific folders named Inbox,
Sent Items, Deleted Items, and Bulk Mail?

it goes nowhere. It just sits there waiting. I would like to make OE my

client again.
