thanks Gail - it does look like MANY people are being affected by this
error.Here's the specific error message:
Task 'Hotmail - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC33) : 'Access to the
account was denied. Verify that your username and password are correct. The
server responded 'Forbidden'. '
Task 'Hotmail: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error
(0x800CCC33) : 'Access to the account was denied. Verify that your username
and password are correct. The server responded 'Forbidden'. '
Everybody who accesses Hotmail via HTTPMail is affected. Hotmail has turned
down a protocol necessary for HTTPMail access using MS Outlook Express, MS
Outlook 2003, MS Outloook 2007, and Entourage. The fix is variable:
MS Outlook (which is the focus of this newsgroup):
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA102225181033.aspx
Am told you have to remove the account from Outlook, install this Outlook
Connector, then reconfigure the account.
Alternative, which will not synchronize your folders, is to configure for
POP3/SMTP access, as described here:

Even though it says, "Outlook Express", the configuration is similar for any
client capable of POP3/SMTP access (though where you find the appropriate
configuration menus can vary widely, depending on the client).
