Windows and IE versions, please?

w xp home, ie 6.0


Have you ever been able to access the account in OE?

Yes


Is that the entire error message?

Unable to poll for new messages ...Server:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail//httpmail.asp...

The rest of the message had some more ports etc mentioned.


Why do you suspect that ZA may be blocking the access?

When ZA is active no polling, when ZA inactive all accounts accessed and
downloaded.

BTW:
ZoneAlarm version:6.5.737.000
TrueVector version:6.5.737.000
Driver version:6.5.737.000

I have added http://services.msn.com to firewall list - no luck.

I think I remember that thee are supposed to be THREE sites added to the
list but don't know what they are.
