Dear All,

I cannot access Live Mai Beta from behind corporate proxy. There seems to be
a common problem to Outlook Express and Outlook 2003 and how they handle
proxy requests.

Workaround process with my Outlook 2003 (HTTP email account to hotmail
already there)
1) Start Outlook.
2) Click on my hotmail account - error: "proxy autentication"
3) Click on On-Line Help - Outlook shows "Connect to..." dialog for proxy
authentication pre-filled with my hotmail account address!?
4) Change Hotmail address to proxy access then OK, On-line help appears.
5) Click on my hotmal account - It WORKS!

Conclusion: Both Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express 6 provide proxy with
hotmail crudentials instead of proxy crudencials from Internet Options...
(contrary to what both programs claim to use). In Outlook Express I cannot
find similar workaround.

Question: Is there a registry setting or any other trick to use to make
Outlook Express 6 provide proper crudencials to specific requests? I do not
want to use Outlook 2003 with or without workaround. I want to use Outlook
Express.

P.S. Outlook Express can access Live Mail Beta when no proxy is involved
without any problems whatsoever. I have tried that.

Thanks.
