Can't dl hotmail msgs using OE6
Assuming this is a sudden, new problem:
1. That error and similar (80004005) almost always indicates problems on either MSN/Hotmail's end (~95%) or that of your ISP (~4%), not yours. Until it automagically clears up, access your account at www.hotmail.com. 2. Otherwise, it's possible that your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages from the old Identity before deleting it (File Identities Manage Identities). To avoid such corruption in futu - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items (Local folders) to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items (Local) folder daily. - Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm. - Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only). - While Hotmail messages aren't scanned, your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org Crunchie wrote: I have been using OE6 to get to my hotmail account, and a few days ago it suddenly stopped working.

The automagic solution is working! I tried the old scenario again after
reading your post, and it seems to work just fine. Thanks, Bear! I'll be revising my hotmail behavior per your other suggestions. Thanks for your help.

No email was downloaded, however. During the setup process there was a complaint about someuser not being a valid user ID, so I changed it to and tried to get again. Same error message. Suggestions?
