From hotmail help:
Cannot access my free Hotmail account from Outlook or Outlook Express:
This topic is not available for MSN HotmailSympatico Mail.
To protect our users from the increasing amount of unsolicited junk e-mail or spam sent from MSN HotmailSympatico Mail accounts through Outlook and Outlook Express, we have reluctantly had to restrict the new use of Outlook and Outlook Express to subscribers.

You prolly have signed up before they decided to stop supporting it for free hotmail accounts...
Found on another site/forum:
Hotmail accounts created before that date (nov 2004?) can still use Outlook or Outlook Express to access Hotmail until sometime in either March or April of this year (2005). Unless you pay for the service.
Anyways the prob is blaxez wants to go around the standard browser that comes with MSN Premium to open hotmail, maybe setting it up as pop3 in plus! works. I don't know if clicking it will open up IE (if set to open it on the net). If not maybe some extra command in the programfield is needed to make it do so.
