Hotmail / Incredimail access problem please help

happyhero

Hi I am trying to help my sister in law, she is using XP home and has always preferred to access her Hotmail via her Incredimail, which was easy to set up and worked fine, until recently, then suddenly it gave this message

"The connection was rejected by the incoming mail server 'http//services.msn.com/hotmail/httpmail.asp', please try again later"

and this has been like this for days. I have read some stuff on the net that makes it sound like Hotmail may have changed something with Hotmail access settings that will stop you accessing Hotmail via Outlook, so is this true and could it effect Incredimail?

More importantly can you get round it if it's true?

I use incredimail too and under servers, I have pop and smtp settings to access my Sky emails, ie pop.tools.sky.com. but on my sister in laws although I have read about some pop and smtp settings you can use for Hotmail, every time I create a new account for accessing Hotmail in her Incredimail, it seeems to realise it is Hotmail by the email address and under servers puts in only one line instead of 2, ie instead of a pop aand a smtp lines like mine it puts in http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
under server URL
and I cannot seem to do anything to make it allow me to put in pop and smtp settings.

Hope I have explained it ok.

Any help appreciated please
