outlook express/windows live

my new windows live password works. this same thing happened about a year
ago. it was a nightmare getting to support but finally i got walked thru. of
course i can't find the limited notes i took at the time. yes it is a
pop3.live.com account. i far as i know it is not a hotmail account it is the
legacy outlook express account I've had since win95. I am paid subscriber to
live however.

Hi map,

Change it in Outlook Express, also to match the password you changed it
to. We are talking about Windows Live Mail?

mail in outlook express. It doesn't except my password.

Your reply is confusing. You keep mixing the wrong terms.

"My new Windows Live password works." Works where? When using the
webmail interface? In some e-mail client other than Outlook Express?

"It is a pop3.live.com account".
That's the IP name of a mail host. Using it means you have a paid
Windows Live Hotmail account, also substantiated by "I am a paid
subscriber". However, Windows Live Hotmail Plus accounts had to use
WebDAV access (i.e., define an HTTP account in OE) until November 2007
whereupon Microsoft re-added POP access. You say that you've had this
Windows Live Hotmail account for a year which means you would not have
had POP access back them. Maybe what you had a year ago was an MSN
Hotmail (Classic) account, not a Windows Live Hotmail account. POP
access was added to Windows Live Hotmail back in November 2007. For POP
access before that, you would've had to have a paid MSN Hotmail account
or a really old legacy Hotmail account for which you got POP access
grandfathered in. POP access was added to Windows Live Hotmail PLUS,
not to MSN Hotmail Premium.

"Legacy Outlook Express account". No such thing. There is, however,
legacy MSN accounts. Outlook Express is an e-mail client, not an
account. So do you have a legacy Hotmail *account*, an MSN Hotmail
Premium (paid) *account*, or a Windows Live Hotmail PLUS (paid) account?

Were you connecting to pop3.live.com when using your old password? Or
did you change both your password and the POP mail host?

wow. now i feel even dumber. sorry for the confusion. my windows live
password works to get into windows live. so i am using the right password. i
have a legacy msn account. all i did was change the windows live password.
next time i started outlook express it wouldn't accept my password. as i
remember about a year and a half ago or so i was notified that my pop3 acct
was going to pop3.live. changed some settings and everything worked. at the
beginning of this year i lost my hard drive. when i got back up and running i
was stuck in this same password loop. that's when i was walked thru and got
outlook express running again. then everything was fine until i changed my
password. i do appreciate your help

And your point is? You change the login password for your Windows Live
ID account (which is the same one for the Windows Live Hotmail service).
Okay. So did you yet update the e-mail account defined in Outlook
Express to use the same login password that you changed to up on the
server?

Did you ever update the account defined in Outlook Express to use the
new password?
