Outlook Express - Hotmail
I have Hotmail running through Outlook express, everything was fine until I changed one of my hotmail passwords, now outlook wont check that hotmail account.
I tried deleting the folder and reinstalling it, but it wont get the folders, I think the old password is stopping it.
anyone know how I can delete the old password from my system or get around this problem?
I have other hotmail accounts that work ok, even deleted and reinstalled one, they work fine, just this one I changed pw on
OS = win 98se
I can check it through hotmail.com ok

So what kind of error are you receiving when you try to check your mail? Just wrong password? Go to Tools > Accounts > Properties > Servers and change it to your new password.

it wont download the folders, mostly get time out (after 15mins) or a "this action not supported by windows" or something like that.
It wont let me synchronize the folder
only thing I have done is changed the password (changed in outlook as well) so am guessing the old password is messing it up, kind of like the old one is stuck in memory but trying to use the new one.
If it gave me a proper error it would be nice, but sadly it gives nothing
