As far as i know my Outlook express has a different password, it was set when my computer was delivered with windows and everything.
My hotmail address is something different and i need a different password.
In order to receive msn email using outlook express you have to use a common password.
You did configure it, but is the password common?
Was it working before, or the problems started when you configure it to get emails from msn too?

Then maybe something is wrong with your settings regarding msn. Check them again, probably something is interfearing with the settings, or maybe virus or something.
