Not sure where to post this, but after much searching, I found a
fix posted at
http://forum.networktechs.com/archiv...php/t-271.html

I was getting the error below with Outlook Express 6 when trying
to access a hotmail account. I found lot's of possible solutions
and tried all of them to no avail.

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server ...
Redirected ... Error Number 0x80004005

On the same computer (running XP SP2) I also found I could not
access hotmail accounts from IncrediMail, though the error
reported was "Method not implemented".

Below is the solution that worked. :-) Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Melissa!!!
