Anybody any suggestions? jim It's a cool piece of software (so much more useful than Netscrape e-mail but it could handle a bit of a bug fix) but there are hazards to using Outlook Express :( For what e-mail address (service?) are you getting these problems? Have you tried re-entering the password? Sometimes, OE and Eudora will "forget" the password if the e-mail server is down. BTW Hotmail is down for Mac OE and Outlook Express 2001 users!!! I normally use OE 5.02 to collect the e-mail from this account, and, for the foreseeable future that is no longer possible. On the 25th M$ installed a "security" update that prevents Mac versions of OE 5.02 and Outlook Express 2001 from collecting "Hotmail" e-mail. It seems the workaround for the moment is to log-in to Hotmail using a webbrowser (and, unless you're running Netscrape 6.1 it better be a Microsloth browser or it'll take you a year to see the page... see the link below). The following URL confirms my suspicions that M$ was engineering their Hotmail service to work poorly on non-M$ browsers. Time for M$ to be split apart into Baby Microsofts as happened with the Baby Bells! <http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5098840,00.html?chkpt=zdnnp1tp02> Eric. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Users can subscribe to the List by sending an email to <muglo-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> with 'subscribe' in the Subject field Users can unsubscribe from the List by sending an email to <muglo-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field Users must send messages or replies to <muglo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> All messages are archived so that you can view them at any time by going to <//www.freelists.org/archives/muglo> Problems concerning use of the FreeList should be sent to <paulthomas@xxxxxxx> Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
