its a timing error of some kind.
been reported several times., and supposedly escalated to the proper group for investigation.

its a royal pain but what I do is just click send/receive a second time and it works.

When I open OE, I initially get an error dialog saying unknown error. I am
logging into my hotmail account. When I look at the details, it just says
which hotmail server I am trying to log into. The thing is, it does not
download email because of this, but when I click ok and then hit the
send/receive button, it downloads just fine. Is there a solution to this
problem?

Sincerely
