If the problem doesn't automagically clear up, try this:

IE Tools Internet Options Privacy Sites type in

hotmail.com

and Allow Cookies.

If still no joy, access your account at www.hotmail.com until it fixes
itself.

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:

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

What does this mean and what do I do? Thanks
