The message "0x800CCC0E" means that the server has failed. That's not
uncommon with Hotmail and all you can do is try again later. The problem
usually clears up in a few hours. As you can see by the error message you
post, there is nothing indicated in the Server Response, i.e., it's
completely blank.

I purchase my Hotmail account so I have the advanced situation. Everything
worked great until the other day. I am able to send and receive e-mail
from
other pop servers I have running but these are the errors I am getting
with
hotmail...
1) It says it is unable to connect to the server and then I get these:

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: '', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
12029,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Header download for the 'Inbox' folder did not complete. Account:
'Hotmail', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',
Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: '', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 12029, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

What does this mean and what do I do? Thanks
