A few things to try. Close OE first and reopen after each of these options.
Try going to Start | Run and copy/paste
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
Internet Explorer | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced Tab. Under Browsing,
uncheck: Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages. Under HTTP 1.1 Settings,
uncheck: Use HTTP 1.1.
Go into Internet Options | Security tab and click the Custom Level button.
Under miscellaneous there is a heading "Navigate sub frames across different
domains". This has to be set as "Enable". Change it for the Internet and
Trusted sites.
Restart after doing all the above if the issue remains.

Hi Bruce:
Wish the solution were that easy. I created a second identity but
remain
with the same issue.

Test this in a new named identity.
You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and
test
it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the
old
identity and delete it.
Note: Do not use the word Main in the name of the new identity.

Hi:
Running Win XP Pro and IE 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090206-1234.
When
composing text in an email, I used to be able to right-click the
highlighted
font and change colors. Now I get the 501 error. I can use the
toolbar
to
change font color, but this is new.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
