Re: SBS 4.5, Proxy Server 2 and W2K Client Running OE to access Hotmail

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

before removing the proxy client did you plug the words 'hotmail proxy' into
the search function at support.microsoft.com

this article came up as the first link
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;247335

but there are others

You suggest you 'deleted' the proxy client. Did you really just delete it or
did you uninstall it?
