PA Bear, adding those two addresses to my allowed list didn't help. I
agree that it's a Microsoft issue, and that it will eventually clear up.
It did so in past instances. However, it's frustrating that there's no
way
to contact them and let them know of this problem for the free accounts. I'll just use the webmail for now - sure is doggy though (sigh).
Thank you for your help on this, and past issues.

Access to free Hotmail accounts in OE has always been a "beta service"

no support whatsoever.

Also:
2. IE Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites > type in...
live.com [and]
hotmail.com
and Allow cookies for each domain, in turn.
3. If the problem persists in a new identity (File > Identities > Add new >> identity), see #1 above.

Pa Bear, thanks for the link. I downloaded the IE 7.0 update for my
windows version, and applied it. The same problem persists. I have
also
followed the additional OE recommendations listed in your note,
faithfully,
for many years. I still think it's a server issue on MS's side, but
can't
contact them for help, since I have a free Hotmail account.

General OE Caveats:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working >>>> offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm
- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not

Compacting is taking place.
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause >>>> such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
