806621 2009-09-03 08:37:00 Hi,
I have searched F1 and find no answer--my hotmail account suddenly comes up "forbidden" port O secure SSL no server 998
Can some one show me how to correct this
The account is used frequently and has been in operation well over 10 years

806623 2009-09-03 09:29:00 HI safari,

Yes I remember that - but I had already set it up
Now this non availability seems to override even that set up
Ta anyway

Did you not get this e-mail from Hotmail? www.imagef1.net.nz
(This e-mail may have been in your Junk Mail folder, depending on your Junk Mail settings)

You can still access your hotmail account with Outlook Express & Microsoft Outlook (or you could use Windows Live Mail) , you just have to change your settings.

Have a look at these links:

If you’re using:

Microsoft Office you can download this: office.microsoft.com

Outlook Express, have a read of this link: help.live.com

Hope this helps :)

806626 2009-09-03 09:39:00 Are you still using port 998

Incoming Server = pop3.live.com
-Port 995
-Encryption/Authentication = SSL is required

Repeated what I had done before - now keep getting request for hotmail account password etc
---BUT everything is set as per the demonstartion page safari set in the beginning
Not to worry I will come back with a clear head tomorrow---at my age it jams bloody quickly

806628 2009-09-04 05:50:00 Hi,
after long moments I have come to the reason for that fault, as above- the mail file in windows live was not working- whether corrupt or not I don't know- but I deleted the entire program and started again.---- but now I can only use hotmail via "Live"-which is a pity as sometimes one forgets to check on inwards hotmail,whereas before it was in the same window as standard mail
Thanks to all
