Sending and receiving Hotmail email into Outlook 2002

[jjnjnew]

I have set up an email account for Hotmail in my Outlook 2002 (outlook xp),
but it says it sends during the send and receive, but does not receive any
email from my hotmail account but gives this additional message:

Task 'Hotmail: Folder: Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error
(0x800CCCF6): 'An unknown error has occured. Please save any existing work
and restart the program.

After setting up the email account and clicking on finish, there seemed to
be access to my hotmail via a web page and it brought up an additional
"inbox" but it was empty, and my hotmail account has mail in it.

I just want to be able to send and receive my hotmail messages like my two
other POP accounts in Outlook 2002, can anyone help?

I am using SP 2 and Office SP 3; everything is updated.

Hi BillR,

Apparently I cannot send and receive hotmail mail into Outlook 2002 from a
free Hotmail account if I understood what the link told me.

that's right. Some accounts that had access before that was introduced still
worked though.
