New_hotmail_user_on_outlook_2003

Hello there,

I recently opened up a new account on hotmail and I am having trouble using
the http email account settings on outlook 2003.

My guess is that the new accounts on hotmail is using a different http
server so it is giving me an error stating it could not get connected to the
http server.

Could you please provide the correct http server for new hotmail!

My old hotmail account works fine with the old settings of server url:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp


Thanks,
 
B

If it's a free Hotmail account, then you'll never be able to us it in
Outlook. MSN has disabled that ability. You must pay to use Hotmail with
Outlook.

If it is a free account, you may find yourself losing the ability to access
it as well before too long.

MS / Hotmail has turned off "DAV" access for new accounts
It appears they are moving to a pay as you go access for the future for all
client side access
Windows Mail in Vista does not support any http account be it paid or not
(at least in the current and previous builds)
On a different note ( and MS will no doubt fix this)
I have accounts that do work in Outlook 2007 beta that do not work in
Outlook 2003
due to the new account status
