Having once made the mistake of saving addresses in my Hotmail account, my Hotmail address book was hacked by some prick. So I had to change my Hotmail password to regain access to my account. That took AGES, despite the patronising Microsoft assurances.
When I finally regained control of Hotmail, instead of using the Hotmail website with all its wretched adverts, I added my Hotmail account to my normal Outlook Express e-mail application. But along came Windows 7 which some idiot at Microsoft had decided shouldn't include the simple and easy OE. But as I had Office, I was able to set up Outlook with Hotmail as an additional account. Normally it works fine, but quite often a failure is flagged up....
