Learn why I ought to sort characters from an image when sending e-mail messages
The Outlook Connector uses a Human Interaction Proof (HIP) challenge. A HIP challenge uses an picture or audio file containing characters that are decipherable only by a person. This requirement confirms that a person, rather than an automated program, is trying to send an e-mail message. This helps prevents automated programs from misusing the Windows Reside Hotmail service.
On occasion the HIP challenge will appear after you send an e-mail message with your Windows Stay Hotmail account.
Note There might be a delay of a few seconds or longer before the HIP challenge appears. If the message you are sending is not in your Outbox but is in your Sent Items folder,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus Key, then your message has been successfully sent to the Windows Stay Hotmail server.
If the HIP challenge appears, you should form the numbers and letters you see in the picture to continue sending the mail. If you mistakenly kind an incorrect character, you will be asked to sort a new set of characters. Look at the numbers and letters in the picture, and then kind them in the box below the picture.
If you are unable to see the image, click the audio icon . The characters in the image are replaced with an audio icon.
Click Play Audio to hear an audio recording of characters.
If you can't read and hear one or more of the letters or numbers, click to get a new set of characters.
Notes
The audio version might seem faint or mixed with background voices and noise. This is intentional to ensure a person, not an automated program, completes the HIP challenge. The letters are not case sensitive. The capital "A" and small-case "a" are considered the same character. There are also no spaces between the numbers or letters.
