After not using my basement computer in a couple of months I went back on it. It would send/receive new messages on everything BUT hotmail and NO hotmail accounts would work. I uninstalled and reinstalled. The reinstall was an older version but I like that better anyhow. I still have the same problem. I copied the error message:

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. There is an error synchronizing your mail account. Please verify your account has been configured correctly by first accessing your mail on the web. Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx', Protocol: HTTPMail, Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x8DE00005, Error Number: 0x8DE00005

I can load hotmail just fine on my laptop and on this computer on the web. I prefer live because it is easier to save email for work (i.e. place on a certain file) and all accounts are visible without signing and logging in as another account.
