Is anyone else out there still using outlook express to access their old hotmail account(s)? I am (or 'was', I guess) but for the last 2 days it's been moaning about my password being wrong, and not fetching new items. I know my password's right as I can still login to msn and hotmail.com. I know MS talked about disabling hotmail via OE this time last year, but it didn't seem to go ahead... anybody heard anything or experiencing the same?
 
Was supposed to happen 30th June last year but was delayed. Mine is still working fine in Outlook Express today.
 
This doesn't necessarily help your exact problem, but Hotmail does have its own mail client now which you could consider switching to, called Windows Live Mail. I've been using it since it was in beta and it's pretty good. Should also be compatible with POP3 email accounts if you've got those too.
 
Yeah I've stuck Windows Live Mail on already, just so I can still get to my hotmail, but I likes my old Windows 95-esque OE interface with, y'know, advanced things such as small icons to drive the functions instead of huge words, and that
