I've rethought my question. I guess what I want to do is delete all account
names from it, including mine, any association with the old Comcast account
and basically start fresh.
Is it because I no longer have Comcast and that is what the account somehow
is linked to the reason it's not working? It's been over 8 months since I've
tried to use OE.
I have had over the last year various people stay with me (traveling
relatives, friends etc) and are no longer here and have mail names. I thought
if I deleted and started fresh it would solve a few problems noted earlier.
I have XP Pro SP2 retail version. I have the disk.
Q. -"Do you have any other email accounts running in OE besides the Hotmail
account?" -
A. - One friend downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird so he could get his Gmail,
whatever that is. He could not configure OE to get his mail.
Q - "Does OE's Folders pane include the Hotmail-specific folders named
Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, and Bulk Mail?"? -
A - Don't know because now it won't open for some reason. I suppose it does.
It's been so long I don't remember.
I tried to send myself a test mail before I posted on 3-24-09 and it would
not send.

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?

Can I delete Outlook Express and re-install? I had Comcast broadband and
it
was linked to that but now I have Qwest. I use Hotmail.I can compose and
send but it never sends. It just sits in my out box. I hit send/receive
but
it goes nowhere. It just sits there waiting. I would like to make OE my
mail
client again.
