The error 12029 I was getting when receiving has disappeared.
Now I'm getting the following error 12007 when sending:

The server could not be found. Account: 'Hotmail', Server:
'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail,
Server Response: '', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 12007, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0D

Any suggestions other than sit down and wait?
Thanks,
Steff

Steffo fumbled, fiddled and fingered:

This may not help in your case but I just appear to have fixed this on
my PC by stopping and restarting the DNS service on my server.
