I have been using OE6 to receive email messages of my Hotmail account, but
since the end of August, I am no longer able to do so any more. The error
message showed the following information:

Hotmail server: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
Response: "Forbidden"
Port: 0
SSL: No
Server Error: 998
Error Code: 0x800CCC33

I have not made any changes to the OE settings and my Hotmail account is
still active, as I can successfully log in online and view my email. I am
wondering if Microsoft has already dropped this service as there will be no
more Outlook Express for the upcoming Windows 7?

Please help.

On September 1, 2009, as planned for over a year, Hotmail turned off the
WebDAV protocol for good. Your options:

With this option, you lose folder synchronization. POP3 is not a
synchronzing protocol. If you want a client that will work as MSOE used to
work (but will no longer work), there is Windows Live Mail:

http://download.live.com/wlmail

When you run the installer, you choose only the applications you want to
install. Nearly as I can tell, if you already have Windows Live Messenger
installed, this installer will automatically update Messenger, as well as
installing Windows Live Mail.
