Are you also using Internet Explorer 7:

Authentication fails when you use Outlook or Outlook Express to try to log
on to a HTTP-based mail server if you use Internet Explorer version 7.0:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=904942

If that's not it, it isn't uncommon for the Hotmail servers to have problems
connecting via Outlook Express and the problem is usually intermittent and
tends to clear up in a few hours or sometimes the next day. Using Hotmail
in Outlook Express is a kludge anyway.

A very, very rare error. Assuming this is a sudden, new problem, chances
are that the problem's on MSN/Hotmail's end, not yours. Until it
automagically clears up, access the account at www.hotmail.com.

The account can be configured in OE and you should be able to receive and
send messages, all independent of MSN Explorer.

Has either of the accounts ever worked in OE, Harry? Are you an MSN Premium
or Hotmail Plus subscriber?
