2 Click the "Mail" tab, select the account that you want to change, and then click the Properties button

3 Click the "Servers" tab

4 Under "Server Information", delete the entry that is in the "Outgoing mail(SMTP)" box, and then type - smtp.email.msn.com

5 Under "Outgoing Mail Server", click to select the "My server requires authentication" check box, and then click the "Settings" button

6 Under "Logon Information", click "Log on using"

7 In the "Account name" box, type your MSN Member ID (everything before the at sign (@) of your MSN email address

SECOND OPTION:

Do you have a firewall installed?(e.g Zone Alarm, Norton System Works, etc.) If you do, check its settings and error logs to make sure that it is not blocking your mail program If you have an anti-virus (or anti-spam) program set to scan incoming mail, that could also be blocking your mail or the firewall could be blocking the anti-virus/spam program
