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.

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?

You can no longer send HOTMAIL from OE. Have to use Windows Live
Mail. Goto Microsoft for info and possible download of Windows
Live Mail. Google is your friend (at least sometimes).

Qwest + MSN? That is an odd duck, and I really have no clue how it works, or
how to fix it when it breaks. Apparently Qwest support just hands you off to
Windows Live support, and Windows Live support just hands you off to Qwest
support.
