Worked fine till 2 days ago. No get error msg: Unable to poll for new
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 I've deleted then re-added the hotmail account but
still get the error msg. My other PC gets email thru OE and is set up
identically so I'm thinking a file may have become corrupted.
Suggestions please?
Thanks

When asking the same question in multiple related newsgroups, use
cross-posting. Do not multi-post the same but separate message into
multiple groups.

See replies to your same question in the other group(s) to which you

I solved the problem: I occasionally use Ad/Subtract [an ad blocker] which
switches to Proxy server...the Hotmail access didn't like that and was not
available when I didn't have Ad/subtract loaded.. by opening Ad/Subtract, I
enabled the proxy connection and access to hotmail worked. I can probably
change my proxy server connection and acheive the same result without having
to use ad-subtract.

Thanks for inputs/suggestions
