Ok, I received this email, and in part it says this:

Dear MSN Member,

Recently, Hotmail® announced that in order to improve customer experience
and reduce spam and junk e-mail abuse on MSN® services, Hotmail will no
longer allow new e-mail accounts to be accessed via Microsoft® Office
Outlook® and Outlook Express.

We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued
customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt
from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to
those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express. However, any new Hotmail or
MSN accounts you create will not be accessible via Outlook or Outlook
Express.

Ok, now I can't get my hotmail account to work with OE, but this email says
I'm exempt because I've had my account for so long. Did they change it?

[PA Bear]

You might begin by telling us what happens when you try to access your
Hotmail account in OE and how long this has been a problem.

Continuing server problems, I expect. I frequently get 0x800CCC0D and other
"Can't connect to server" errors in OE. For some bizarre reason,
closing/reopening OE always fixes it. Go figure.
