If anyone can provide the solution to this problem I'll be very grateful!
I'm using Windows 2000 and Outlook Express 6 and can't link to my Hotmail account. (Actually, my email account is a *@msn.com - but it's the same server, isn't it?) Anyway, I've looked at every article and every bit of advice I can find on this site and the ms site, done eveything they suggest and I still get the following message:

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: ' Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Service Unavailable', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCCF0

I've also tried it on my other computer running WindowsXP. Same problem. I've checked - and re-checked - everything I can. My account works perfectly if I log into hotmail.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

Michael
