Hi,

I'm a Hotmail Plus subscriber.

Lately I've not been successful in sending emails through Outlook Express,
as I use Hotmail with it. The mails will just be stuck in Outbox with the
following error:

"An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Hotmail', Server:
'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail,
Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 12019, Error Number: 0x80004005"

I've tried using to remove and re-add my account, that didn't help.
Subsequently, I went into forums for help and changed the Hotmail Server to:
http://oe.hotmail.com/secure/hmdata

That didn't solve the problem, so my last resort was to uninstall Outlook
Express from Control Panel/Windows Component and reinstall. Unfortunately
that still didn't work.

Currently I stick to using Windows Live Mail web-based to send mails, while
I use Outlook Express to receive and archive my mails. Could there be
something unstable to my contact list ever since I've moved to the Beta
version?

Hope my feedback is useful. Appreciate if anyone could help to look into my
Outlook Express problem. Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Lennard

Took me a minute to figure it out... You applied for and accepted the beta
invitation? In your options (via the web interface) you'll need to
unsubscribe yourself from the beta probably. The Live Mail doesn't work with
Outlook Express at this time for any of my accounts that normally work with
OE and I suspect that the pay accounts don't work properly yet either.
