As I said I know you didn’t use ZA Pro merely checking that you current firewall didn’t have a similar function.
However, since I don’t use Outpost but OE6, so I can’t check Bob’s assertion. I thought both OE and Outpost could download Hotmail, whilst it isn’t possible with new Hotmail/MSN accounts if you had an old account it was still possible to access it to download email.
Since you have stopped all providers and the problem exists then that would tend to confirm Bob’s post or there is a problem with the beta 2 version of Outlook.
