Hello,

I have an old computer (OS: XP Pro) running Outlook Express 6.0. About 2-3
years ago I setup access to 2 of my hotmail accounts from with express and
they still work to this day.

Now I am setting up a new computer (OS: Windows 2003) running Outlook
Express 6.0. When I go to add my hotmail accounts and receive mail I get an
"Invalid Login" error message and from what I have read this is due to the
fact that microsoft no longer supports access to hotmail thru Outlook Express
for free accounts.

My question however is why does it still work on my old computer but not on
my new computer and secondly, is there any way to copy over my inbox files
and the like to the new computer and have the hotmail accounts automatically
setup??

The only "Windows 2003" that I'm familiar with is the server product. Are
you trying to install Hotmail on a server? I don't think that is going to
work but a more appropriate newsgroup would be the one for your particular
operating system. Try asking in this newsgroup:
