I not exactly sure about this but I thought that if you use MSN then you
can use Hotmail via MSN as long as the user name is the same. If you have a
MSN userid and a different Hotmail user name, then you must logoff MSN to
use Hotmail. (I don't have an MSN account but I do have a Hotmail account).
With version 7.0 of MSN you are now automatically connected to MSN
Hotmail.com, MSN Messenger Service and MSN calendar so that you no longer
have to retype passwords. If you use your MSN Hotmail sign-in name as your
MSN Messenger sign-in, you can simply click on the Hotmail.com link to
logon directly to send e-mail from Hotmail.
If this is the case, then I'd guess that your configuration of Hotmail,
MSN, or Outlook is incorrectly configured between POP3 and SMTP server names.
First off, look at Outlook Express
Tools -- Accounts -- Mail tab
Click on Properties button
Click on Servers tab
Check incoming mail {POP3}: server name
Check outgoing mail {SMTP}: server name
If these are configured for MSN or Hotmail rather than some other ISP then
this leads me to believe that MSN/Hotmail is controlling.
MSN Explorer and MSN.com send web-based HTML e-mail ONLY and cannot be
configured to send plain text. Hence if you embed a graphic image then this
implies a MIME encoded HTML message and you will use the web-based MSN or
Hotmail account to send the e-mail message.
