Been getting that same old error for a while now.. any idea?
If you are using a FREE hotmail account they changed their policy - FREE hotmail accounts can no longer be accessed by outlook/outlook express clients, only via a webbrowser.
My free hotmail ID works with outlook express. Maybe because yours is a new ID and mine is an old one.
When did you create this id?
This is for sending.. I can still receive emails via outlook express fine.Quote:

Have you tried setting up the account details again. From the error it does look like you aren't allowed access via http although I am sure the new service settings don't allow any access via outlook unless you have hotmail plus - not just no sending. I think they also changed the process so you only logon via https then it switches back to http - that's what happens in a browser now. They want you (not unreasonably) to pay for the service.
just sign in once in a while via browser - you should be ok for a while, until they want you to sign in again
Running free hotmail through outlook with no problems.
Try lynchies suggestion.
Try deleting/creating the account.
If that doesn't work try a new PST
