I removed my hotmail account and reinstalled as was suggested about 1.5 days ago .. so far, all is working well. No error messages since that time. I am curious if there is a known cause as to why this works. Not going to complain about it not being necessary (agree it should not be) given nothing out there remians perfect all the time. The fix here was fairly painless, and now the annoyance is gone. Hopefully, the workaround continues to work!
