E-Mails to/From a Hotmail a/c

roddydogs

I use OE for my e-mails, generally, however i do have a Hotmail a/c as well.
But when i send an e-mail to my friend, she uses Hotmail, (and of course dosent want to change her normal E-mail address) it 95% of the time it dosent reach her, and the same the other way, her e-mails never reach my OE inbox, its just this one Hotmail address,( no im not on her "Junk Mail" or "Banned" list.)
If i do tests to myself from Hotmail/ To Hotmail, From OE to Hotmail, they work perfectly, it JUST this one address that will not recieve my OE e-mails, and im apparantly the "Only" person who dosent get her E-mails! Help. thanks

Unfortunately I don't use hotmail or OE so I can't be specific. She needs to put your email address in her 'whitelist' or 'trusted senders' list, and you need to do the same with hers. Your problem could be that your ISP is junking her emails to you before they even reach your OE, because hotmail addresses are still a big source of spam. You may need to whitelist her with your ISP. If your ISP offers 'webmail' access then you should be able to do it through there. Hope this helps but post back if it doesn't.

Upgrade to Windows Live Mail which is the step up from Outlook Express which now fully incorporates MSN Hotmail. Microsoft did restrict Hotmail access on OE since 2004!

Trouble with Live Mail is it take ages to log in , has adverts, and means changing all my contacts to another e-mail address. Its also far more "Fiddly" to use.
Cant see anyway to access "Trusted senders lists" on Either.
Thanks anyway

The hotmail account should be upgraded to windows live which can then be used through OE

When you open OE,at the top left of the page you should have file,edit,view,tools,message and help.
