  Gezim and Jill,

  The problem you are having with accessing your hotmail accounts through 
Outlook Express has nothing to do with your not paying for premium Hotmail 
access.

  As long as you had been using your hotmail account before Microsoft started 
charging for Hotmail access via Outlook Express, you were grandfathered in, and 
can still access your Hotmail account through your Outlook Express program for 
free. I'm still doing it with no problem.

  The problem you are having is caused by a setting in your Outlook Express. I 
suspect that it is attempting to open both hotmail accounts, and is rejecting 
the password you are giving it, because it is looking for the other password.

  Regards,

  Alan

however, about 3 months ago or so, I had the same problem and when I went to 
visit
  hotmail's website I found out that you can no longer manage your hotmail 
account through outlook express unless you subscribe to one of their email 
plans.
   I now only access my hotmail account through the website instead of managing 
it with outlook express.  This was frustrating to me of course because I
  liked being able to manage all of my email accounts using outlook express. 
You may have to switch email providers?  Possibly Gmail?
  Hope this helps,
  Jill Kline

    Hi List,

    I appologize if this is an off topic issue, but in that case, I hope that 
one of you will respond to me privately. I have two Hotmail accounts that I
  have been using with Outlook Express, but recently a problem has occurred. 
All the time I am prompted to enter my password for my account, and even after
  I do so, I get the same prompt over and over. I have tried removing and 
adding my Hotmail accounts several times, but that did not stop the problem.

    This has been happening only with my personal computer, while I have been 
experiencing another strange problem with my office computer, too. When I want
  to send a document as attachment, I get a message, which approximately says 
something like 'no profile has been created for MS Outlook'. In fact, I am
  using Outlook Express here as well, so I find the message quite strange.

    I am looking forward to your help.

    Best regards,
    Gezim
