- MSN Companion, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

<B7> The user can send e-mail, but has never successfully received e-mail.

CAUSE
=====

When the account was created, the e-mail routing was never set up properly, so
the e-mail messages sent to the customer never get routed to the Hotmail mailbox
that MSN Companion uses. The messages send successfully because the Hotmail
mailbox was created correctly.

RESOLUTION
==========

1. Escalate these types of users to MSNIANOC: Tell MSNIANOC that the user's
  email routing is not configured correctly for MSN Companion, and to run a
  standard e-mail reset with the user.
  When MSNIANOC responds saying that the user has been fixed, the user's e-mail
  issues will be resolved.

2. Send the customer an email to let them know that their e-mail is fixed, or
  call the user directly.
