sounds to me that you have put your password into your email client incorrectly.

To be honest i always find it easier to just delete the profile that is being a pain in the ass and start again as sometimes its just a matter of a single letter being out of place and I get cross eyed looking at box after box of server addresses etc.

APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
• Microsoft Outlook 2002 Standard Edition
• Microsoft Office Outlook Connector
• Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2000 Concise Edition
• Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2000 Deluxe Edition

The steps will be similar with all programs like thunderbird endura and so on.

Also i think that HOTMAIL accounts will NOT work.
