Thomas,
Thanks for the update..glad to hear everything is fine.
My question on signing in was relative to signing on to Windows Live services in WLM with a Live ID but not the settings or WLM
using the respective email account settings to send/receive mail. The former is not necessary to send/receive mail, but it does
provide synchronization of that Live ID for contacts and calendar.

>> Thomas,
>> A few questions which you've probable already addressed but just in case.
>> 1. Are you signing on to Windows Live in WLM with the same Live ID used for the Hotmail account ?
>> 2. Is the Hotmail account setup as an Http account or Pop3 account ?
