I see a couple problems here. First connection security should be "none". Another potential problem is probably that you have both the receive and transmit ports set to the same port number. Also check Hotmail web-mail site settings, it needs to be set to use HTTPS automatically. The Hotmail web-mail extension uses this as a default setting. This settings is in the options section on the Hotmail site at the bottom of the page.
One thing to note here is that the security setting of none is only used when Web-mail extension communicates with TB and not with the actually Web-mail site in question those dicussions are made upon the normal requirements of the site. Although setting both recv and send to same port may not cause a problem but it is not recommended as the problem may be trying to both pop3 and smtp mode at the same time causing a conflict especially since multitasking is a normal way Windows does things nowadays. The normal Localhost port setting for receive is 110, Connection Security None and Password transmitted insecurely. Eugene
