Cannot send or recive e-mails again this morning using Outlook 2003 and pop3.  live.com worked for an hour last night but is not working a gain this morning yet you have no "problem" banner up on this site now.

Using web based hotmail works but is not what i pay for.

How long is it going to take for you to fix this problem?

{removed email address}

I suggest that you reconfigure your account because it seems that there's a minor configuration issue on your end. Here are the steps on how to remove it:

1. On the "Tools" menu, click "E-mail Accounts."
2. Select "View or change existing e-mail accounts," and then click "Next."
3. On the "E-mail" tab, select the "Hotmail" account, and then click "Remove."
4. Click "Yes" to confirm that you want to remove the account.
5. Click "Finish."

Once removed, visit this link for the steps on how to add it back correctly:
