iChat Bounces but won't start- problem

[yenf_nyc]

Hi all,
Found this site on google.. would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out..

problem 1. my iChat bounces on the dock when I click on it to use it, but the little triangle under the icon disappears after, like, 3 bounces, and it doesn't start. I click on it again, same thing happens. Has this happened to anyone? I've tried re-installing the OS (pretty drastic) and doing the software update, but it's still flaking on me. I'm on OS X Panther, 12" 1.5 GH powerbk.

problem 2. I configured to use my hotmail accounts on my Apple Mail program, but recently they've all "failed", as in, I can't collect mail from them anymore. I've tried to delete and re-add the accounts, but it's still got that annoying triangle-with-exclaimation-mark icon next to my hotmail accounts, can't, can't, can't. Anyone have any experience with this?

Cheers mateys.. really appreciate your feedback on this....

You're probably the 6th person that this has happened to, and myself, along with a few others still haven't figured it out yet...

Not sure about your iChat problem, but the Hotmail thing is quite straightforward: Microsoft stopped providing the facility to pick up hotmail mails from 3rd party applications (including outlook) last week. Apparently something to do with spam and security. Anyway, point being you won't be able to get hotmail by any method apart from logging on to hotmail.com

Bit crap no?
