Do u have any other account setup in outlook?

You can check it under Tools Account settings.

If any remove that.

If you cannot find any thing except hotmail , remove that and readd. That
should fix.

I have my Live Hotmail account set up in Outlook 2007 using Outlook
connector.
Suddenly, when I click on "Send and Receive" I get an error message that the
operation cannot be performed on this account, yet if I choose to "send and
receive" Hotmail ONLY, it all works OK.
Can anyone suggest why this should be?
