Last week OE6 suddenly stopped working with my hotmail plus account. In the
past this would happen occasionally and the problem would clear up on its own
the next day. However this time it has been over a week. I am convinced there
is a problem with the hotmail servrer but Hotmail tech suport deny this and
directed me to OE6 support. OE6 works fine with another e mail account and
also with other newsgroups. It just refuses to work with hotmail any more.
Your suggestions would be appreciated. Kind Regards Chris
