Outlook Express 6 and Hotmail - "Bad Request"

[jean2002]

Hello all,

I have tried setting up my Outlook Express 6 on XP to read my Hotmail account's mails, on the following address which is the default Server address in the Account... setup options for Hotmail, under the "Server" tab:

http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

However, when I am connected to the Internet, and do a Send and Receive, I get the following error message:

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: '

http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',

Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Bad Request', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC31

This really got me stumped, does anyone know a solution or workaround to this? I have already re-created the account, but this does not work.

Thanks!
