Thank you and welcome back. I had extensive email with your colleague, Jeffson Chen. We had lots of correspondence and no final solution. I think he has now 'given up' on me.
Interesting new changes: I moved away from Outlook Express after years and into Outlook 2002 which had sat dormant on my hard disk.
The problem we outlined a month ago still remains. If I do my "mail run" in the mornings I can send and receive to all accounts. Of course, my POP accounts ALWAYS work. Generally in the afternoons about 70% of my accounts will complete. I will state right now: I have four hotmail accounts. I use one for work, one is personal, one deals with a reunion web site and the other is also for correspondence with another web site I run. My computer also has a different user who logs on to a different XP account (with their own background and options). At the same time my hotmail accounts stopped working, that one did too.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason as to which accounts will be accessible at any particular time. The error messages are slightly different in Outlook but generally are pointing towards the same problem we've identified previously.
I always auto-update from the XP Windows update. I think my trouble started at around the time I went to xpsp2.
