I've followed the prescribed directions from the
Microsoft web site, but I'm still unable to connect to my
Hotmail account via Outlook 2002.

Thank you.
 
Any error message or particular place you get stuck?

I guess you are trying to connect to Hotmail by using the HTTP service and
selected Hotmail as the server?
The server should now say;
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

Note that it happens quite often that the connection gets lost when you are
trying to download large e-mails. Just try again later.

Hey Roady:

Ya, I've got that going. THat's the default on Outlook
for Hotmail. I haven't been able to log on to Hotmail for
well over two weeks and at my wits end, thought I could
try this.

Thanks.
 
Disable your firewall and see if it works then (turn it back on afterwards).
If so; reconfigure your firewall.

Otherwise try creating a new (do not copy) profile in Control Panel-> Mail->
Show Profiles
