unable to log on to server
outlook is now opening for me. when i attempt to logon, it fails, and i go
into offline mode. what am i entering incorrectly in the logon box? the first box is gray with the http address. the second box is my email address, while the third is my password. i am thinking the web address may be incorrect. but since it is gray, how does it get changed? plus, how does one know what the correct web address is? esp when i am trying to use hotmail? thank you, momkoz

You can't change the address. An HTTP account always uses the correct URL. plus, how does one know what the correct web address is? esp when i am trying to use hotmail? thank you, Has your Hotmail account ever worked in Outlook? Is this a paid Hotmail account? -- Brian Tillman

You cannot use Outlook or Outlook Express to access free Hotmail accounts (in general - there are some exceptions). You could use gmail, however. -- Brian Tillman
