Thanks, your fix got rid of the error but now I get a new error as follows:

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail',
Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol:

This should help fix it:

When I try and use OE to access hotmail it repeatedly (4 or 5 times) asks
for
username and password. Then I recieve the following error msg:

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: 'Invalid login.', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error

OE worked fine until I down loaded IE 7.0 and added an HP PhotoSmart
printer. I do not know if either caused the problem, but they both
occured
at the same time OE quit working.

I tried Knowledge Base, but could not fine the identical error number.
Did
try a fix wher the error text was the same......but it had no effrect.
