Fantastic, Outlook/Hotmail are so ridden with exploits that now microsoft are refusing to allow the two to cooperate with each other; all this despite the fact that hotmail compatibility is about the only thing Outlook has going for it.....
Recently, Hotmail® announced that in order to improve customer experience and reduce spam and junk e-mail abuse on MSN® services, Hotmail will no longer allow new e-mail accounts to be accessed via Microsoft® Office Outlook® and Outlook Express.
We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express. However, any new Hotmail or MSN accounts you create will not be accessible via Outlook or Outlook Express.
Good going, guys!

Pffft, I don't want a computer reading my emails. It might become self-aware.
