The hotmail error message clearly says the "account name does not match". I can open the account and even retype everything, but it still won't work. Again, this only happens when I am trying to send mail with my hotmail. I just checked my news account that doesn't work. I opened and closed the account, but it still gives a "connection failure". It looks like it is timing out because it can't connect to the server at all. So, maybe the "server address" information is getting lost. --Greg -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
