Well guys, none of your OE suggestions has worked
This is weird! I've set up OE for Hotmail then I sent 2 mails to my Yahoo account, but only an e-mail with plain text/HTML went, one with an attachment will just cause OE to sit there doing nothing and eventually throw up this error:

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 12019, Error Number: 0x80004005

I've disabled Zone Alarm and Adsubtract to eliminate them and files with attachments still won't get sent?
However, when I check my Yahoo account
NOTHING has been sent there? so far I have sent 6 e-mails to Yahoo and not
ONE has got through!
I also get this error after sending is complete:

I can download my list of folders from the Hotmail account, just can't get a list of mail from my inbox it seems!
This is with a complete re-install of WinXP + SP1 + All critical updates!!
I am back at square one! Hopefully a friend will bring up his PC for me to try the same things on using my modem and then take my PC down to his house to try on his BT modem, that way we can eliminate my PC being the problem.
Thanks for all the tips people, but I just thought of one thing, Hotmail/Yahoo are WEB based e-mail, so why should I have to use OE anyway? That's the idea of them, so you don't need a dedicated mail client, just a web browser! If I go to an internet cafe would they mind me fiddling with their PC's and configuring OE for my accounts that should work within a web browser?
Granted most of the time I am at home, so using OE is a valid option, but when I'm out at a friends house or using public internet services, I can't go messing with their PC's. But luckily I've found out OE doesn't work for me anyway, so I'm as bad burned as scolded really, something is broken somewhere and I'm pointing a tentative finger at NTL!
Top and bottom is I should
*NOT* have to jump through god knows how many hoops just to get this working again, eg. setting up OE, downloading Mozilla, downloading extra software etc, it was fine last week using IE6, now it isn't? Please understand I am not bad mouthing
ANYONE who has tried to help! I just want to use IE6 with Hotmail/Yahoo through NTL like I could last week
I'll wait till my friend comes up with his PC then, depending on what happens, I'll decide whether NTL need another kick up the backside! And juding by the ammount of times I keep getting 'Page cannot be found', 'Server Hangup' and 'Connection reset by peer' messages each time I try to preview this post, I guess NTL do have a few problems? Does it usually take nearly an hour to get a message posted?
