538898 2007-04-08 00:28:00 I was hoping to use my hotmail account in outlook 2003 but when it come to synchronizing the inbox I get this message

" Task 'Hotmail: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error (0x800CCCF6) : 'The server responded 'Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up at join.msn.com "

My mate got his hotmail account which is around 4 years old and his account works fine when he set it up on my pc.

I got a yahoo email account and it works fine with Outlook 2003, my hotmail account is around 4 years old and I aslo have another hotmail account which is around 8 years old and both of them give this same error. I searched the forums and didnt fine much help so created a new post. Any help would be much appreciated.

cheers
Ron

You are one of the unlucky ones who have to pay to access hotmail via OE or Outlook.

I think why your mate can access his hotmail fine with OE / Outlook & not you is maybe you & him are on different servers.

I Hope this helps :)

Every hotmail account is on different servers, for example I am on the "by132fd.bay132.hotmail.msn.com" server & I can access hotmail via OE fine.

I Hope this helps :)

One you have login have a look in your address bar where is has ".hotmail.msn.com", if your using hotmail & not Windows Live mail.
