Thanks ill take a look.

Hotmail have now disabled mail forwarding to outlook because they say it has been abused. Unless you are a subscriber? If you go to your hotmail page then click on help and type in outlook it will tell you there. hope this helps!

from msn.
To protect our users from the increasing amount of unsolicited junk e-mail or spam sent from MSN Hotmail accounts through Outlook and Outlook Express, we have reluctantly had to restrict the new use of Outlook and Outlook Express to subscribers only.

If you have been a long time hotmail user you can still read your hotmail in OE without being a subscriber.
I've had it downloading to OE for 4-5 years and it still works. Even setting it back up on a new HD didnt affect it.
So if you have been downloading it you can continue to for now, otherwise you need to subscribe.

Alternatively you can use a free program like this one. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...GetMail2.shtml
