I posted a slightly longer version of this question to:
'microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.outlook express'

on the 8th. No answer and group looks kinda dead except for spam.

Tried to setup mail client OE6 and received this error message:

Unable to connect to server
Protocol: nntp
Port 119
Server (ssl): 0

My anti-virus (Advast) shows:

Local Host Port 119 Listening
Protocol: tcp

My e-mail is Hotmail.

Suggestions....

Regards...
