Suddenly when trying to connect to hotmail(Outlook) servers I get an error message saying it could not connect to mail server -my email-; the connection was refused. There have been no updates to my knowledge since I was using this software successfully a week or two ago, and I have gone into my hotmail account and copied the exact information on proxy connections to the account.
