i am sorry i have to open a new thread everytime. when i do a new post it
goes thru msnews which works, however, when i do reply it tries to go to
hotmail.and it can't.
let me try to explain where i am to now. when created the new account it
moved all items from hotmail into the local folder inbox. i can see this is
my only option.
so i am set with incoming mail , however, i cannot send mail even though i
changed to 587. i get the following errors;

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's
e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was
.. Subject '', Account: 'Hotmail (1)', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol:
SMTP, Server Response: '530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first',
Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78.

please tell me what to do

thank you
