Nate, Thanks for the input. I am not using any beta software. I refined the
Google search a bit, but still nothing. One google page suggested deleting
and recreating the Hotmail account (which had already occurred to me). I have
done that and perhaps it will work (I hope).
If you or anyone else has other ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.
If recreating the hotmail account fixes the problem, I will add that to this
thread so it will be availalbe to others in the future.

Hi, I tried reviewing many of the 80004005 threads here, but couldn't find
one that helped with my particular problem.
It doesn't look like the typical error number.
This is a new error for me (I've been using Outlook Express for years and
this just started happening).
I am using IE 6 (it looks like sp2) and Outlook 6 (sp2, I think).
There is no "Outlook 6". There is MS Outlook 97, MS Outlook 2003, and
some other years in between; components of MS Office, or a paid stand
alone product. But "Outlook" is _not_ shorthand for Outlook Express.
They are two different mail clients, about alike as fruit and fruitfly.
There _is_ "MS Outlook Express 6"; which is a component of MS Internet
Explorer 6. You can abbreviate it to "MSOE", if you like.
Things I have noticed:
The error seems to occur when there is a new message in one of my IMAP
inboxes (I am unable to consistently reproduce this). I had one IMAP account
for years with no problem, but recently added two new ones; I may have
configured something incorrectly. The account setups appear to match the
original one. Furthermore, I've had the new IMAP accounts for a couple months
and this error is relatively new (although the new IMAP accounts have just
started to receive more mail).
Sometimes after the error occurs, new mail in my hotmail inbox is marked as
read after it is delivered. Again, not consistent.
Suddenly (as of last night), *some* new messages now appear with the half
envelope and do not download until I open them or until I click Send/Receive
a second time. These are messages to me only, so they are not bulk email nor
do they appear in the bulk email folder.
A while ago (well before this message started to appear), I had tried to
upgrade to Outlook, but I had so many problems with my IMAP accounts (i.e.,
mail not received or not sent), that I went back to using Outlook Express.
Actual error:
Configuration:
Account: Hotmail
Server: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
User name:
Protocol: HTTPMail
Port: 0
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 80004005
If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Is that a Windows Live Mail Beta account? It seems that there is a
related issue with Windows Live Messenger:

I am not keen on using Beta stuff all that much, though I did try
Windows Live Mail Beta. So far, though, I have not had any problems with
is.
