Default hotmail / windows live

Noel,

Windows Live Mail is working fine here on Win Me. I've just checked.
It's possible that my system though is a little different having been one
of those testing Live Mail for the last year so my settings may just be
different from the norm.

OE access. Free accounts that were using OE to access Hotmail prior to
the withdrawal in late 2004 continue to have access for the most part
although mistakes were made and some did lose access that should never
have done so. Mine included but OE access was restored and the allocation
increased from the former miserly 2MB to 2GB when I mentioned this at an
early stage during the beta.

Windows Live AFAIK, doesn't work on Win 9x systems - so you should
continue to use Hotmail..... one complicating factor is that Hotmail
also withdrew support for Outlook Express access to the free accounts
some time ago, so this may be the effect that you are now seeing on
the home machine.
If not - post back, or to Hotmail groups, for more assistance.
