    I Found The Answer "finally"

    You have to type in @msn.com after your account name when configuring yourself. Let Outlook express do the rest. But you can't just type in the name of your account, you have to add @msn.com and it is now working for me. Good luck. Jess

    Or @hotmail.com

    Whichever mail your trying to get through Outlook Express. It's that easy. After all this frustration of trying to get the answers online. I finally realized before signing in to Hotmail or Msn mail. You have to type your full address, not just your user name. So Outlook Express will have to do the same, to retrieve your mail. Hit configure myself. Where it asks for your account name or user name, make sure you type your full address including @msn.com or @hotmail.com and the password you use to log in at the site. Then make sure you check remember password for outlook express to keep getting your mail. Leave the settings alone for MSN/Hotmail. Let OE configure that for you. K I'm done. Hugs, Jess

    Often times a fix is as simple as that. Glad you got it sorted.
