Hi, everyone

I used the Outlook Express to get the Hotmail account's email but I don't
know why it is always saying my user name and password is incorrect. In
fact, I tried to visit the Hotmail.com and then successfully logged. I can
see the new email.

Can you tell me what is happen ??

Thanks
Jimmy

Make sure that Secure Password Authentication is not checked.
My server requires authentication is checked.

As of Sept. 1, 2009, Hotmail is no longer available through clients using
the WebDAV protocol, such as MS Outlook Express. You really only have two
options:

If you would prefer to keep MSOE, instead of installing a newer email
application, you will have to set up POP3/SMTP access:

<http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions/settings/archive/2009/02/18/how-to-add-your-e-mail-account-to-microsoft-outlook-express.aspx>

If you do this, you need to understand: POP3 is not a "synchronizing"
protocol. It only downloads, and only the Inbox. If you need to keep email
on the Hotmail server, you need to use the Account Properties, Advanced tab,
to check, "Leave a copy of the message on the server".

If you must have folder synchronization, and can stand the awful colors of
the GUI interface, you will need to download Windows Live Mail:

http://download.live.com/wlmail

That is an installer for the full Windows Live Essentials suite, and you
will have to decide whether you want the other parts of the suite during the
install; they are selectable, whether to install, or not.

If you choose to install Windows Live Mail, there is a help group
specifically for that product:

NB: You will have to create a new Hotmail account via Tools | Accounts |
Mail, you cannot edit the old one.

Compare your new account's configuration settings to those listed on this
page:

TIP: Outgoing (SMTP) server port will need to be 587, not 25, for most
users.

TIP: Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and it may be causing a problem.

Yours is the only relevant reply to the OP. He should have gotten multiple
emails stating that as of Sep 1, he would have to make changes if using
Outlook Express.

PA Bear also posted relevant information. FWIW, I checked all four of my
Hotmail accounts; only two have the WebDAV discontinuance notifications.
