I have Outlook 2003 and a hotmail account (had it for years). I am trying to
add it to Outlook and I am getting the following error.

The HTTP mail store could not be created. The operation failed. An object
could not be found.

Can this be fixed? If so how?

Did you ever get an anwer for your question? I'm having the same problem. The
problem we're having is that Hotmail now charges for the service, about $50 a
month. The question now is what e-mail provider could we use that won't
charge us?

That is not the problem. "The operation failed. An object could not be
found." I can add hotmail, have been able. : )

You're way off-base. Hotmail Plus will also work with Outlook and it's $20
per YEAR. It's Outlook Live that costs $44.95, but that's YEARLY, not
monthly. Hotmail Premium is $9.95 per month, with the first two months free
if you subscribe before the end of May. That's $99.50 for the first year
and $119.40 for subsequent years.

Sorry the first time I miss read your reply because that is what I was
expecting someone to say (I have tooth ache : ( ). Anyway I have had my
Hotmail account for so long now (many many years) that MS lets my use it in
Outlook for free! At least for now. But I did fix my problem if you want to
know. He is what I did

1. Uninstalled Office 2003
2. rebooted pc
3. removed old .pst
4. Started Outlook and pointed to one of my many backup .pst
5. Copied that .pst to default location which is C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
6. Opened Outlook and pointed it to the backup pst I just copied and removed
old data file.

I can check my "free hotmail" account in Outlook now : )
