Unable to poll for new messages on HTTP server
 

HI, I have been using OE to access my MSN Hotmail for months. All of a sudden
I receive the msg:"Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
Account: 'MSN mail', Server:
'http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata', Protocol: HTTPMail, Port:
0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80040111" . I can login from the MSN
website. MSN folks suggested I try here. I have removed and added my
account twice to try to fix it. Can someone help me please?

Is this a paid account with MSN Hotmail? If not, you may have problems.

This is an almost-unknown Hotmail-in-OE error (http://snipurl.com/lld9). It
usually indicates either temporary problems on MSN/Hotmail's end or that of
your ISP. Until the problem clears up, access your mail at www.hotmail.com.
