    Outlook 2003 & Windows Live


    Somehow I have my Outlook mail mixed up with Hotmail e.g. cannot report Spam and mail composed through browser IE8 is listed as from me@hotmail when it should be me@myISP etc.

    Obviously I have inadvertently changed Outlook/Windows Live.

    What do I have to do to have Outlook separate and Windows Live (Hotmail) separate please?

    Windows Live Hotmail is an email service, normally accessed with a web browser.

    Outlook is an email program. It can access Hotmail accounts via POP3 or by using the Hotmail Connector.

    Windows Live Mail is another program, which can access Hotmail accounts via POP3 or DeltaSync.

    Just how are you accessing your Hotmail?

    Perhaps I will be better off uninstalling Windows Live and keep my Hotmail & Outlook?

    Advice appreciated.

I had a new PC with Windows Vista (64-bit), loaded Outlook 2003 and it was working fine, albeit a little slow sometimes. I've now installed a 64-bit Windows 7 upgrade and can't get Outlook 2003 to work at all. From everything I've read it seems as though there should be no major compatibility...
