What does this error msg mean? I have been using
Outlook Express for my hotmail
for year and am Grandfathered in so I don't have
to pay. I periodically have this
problem. Usually I just delete the account and
then re-build it and everything
works fine.......for awhile. I would like to find
out why this happens and what I can
do to make it quit happening.

Error: Unable to poll for new messages on your
HTTP server. Account: 'Catlovr',
Server:
'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',
Protocol: HTTPMail,
Server Response: 'Authorization Required', Port:
0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number:
0x800CCC32

Thanks in advance for the help.


The connection between Outlook Express and the HTTP servers has never been
great. Every once in a while problems like this clear up. Apparently MS
does something with the servers and the problem clears up in a few hours or
as much as a couple weeks. There is generally no need to delete and
re-enter the account. Try again later or, if you aren't patient enough, use
IE.
