Hello People,

I just read Shay's reply to Kevin's question and thought he , or someone with Windows XP knowledge (oh sorry, I have trouble even typing anything to do with 'Yuk-Windows).

My Neighbour has been asking me for help with this problem.

Windows XP - Outlook Express 6  -  ADSL connection.

Her mail is working correctly for Sending & Receiving ... well,
except for Sending to a Hotmail address.
She can receive from the hotmail address, but is unable to Send to it.

I understand that Hotmail is HTTP not SMTP (for sending).
I have no trouble sending to the hotmail address on my Mac OSX10.3.8

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm really having a bad headache over this.

Have you checked whether there is an issue about the email's formatting? ie Plain text or HTML?
Is hotmail refusing the message or will it simply not send?

Good Luck
Paul
