Hotmail and OE7

by Bolonel Cogey Oct 25, 2006 1:08AM PDT

I've trawled the internet and searched the CNet forums for an answer to this but have not found a satisfactory solution.

I've been accessing my Hotmail+ account for ages through Outlook Express with no problems.The other day I installed IE7 which I have to say is a great improvement on IE6.My trouble started when I did a clean install of XP SP2 Home edition which I stupidly thought might take a few hours.In the end I was up all night reinstalling software, restoring backed up files and trying to find ways to restore corrupted dbx files.Then I tried reconfiguring my Hotmail+ account with OE7 but have been unable to import folders and am getting the following error message

''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: 'Invalid login.', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC32''

This is a nuisance and rather puzzling as I have been able to access my Hotmail+ account via OE7 from my wife's laptop which has the same operating system and is also running IE7. I am certainly using the same login and password and the same broadband connection was used for both computers.

Any Ideas

I've been looking for an answer to this for hours now.

The url that OE sets by default in account settings is
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

I tried pasting this into my browser and you get to msn services login page.So then I tried logging in from there and got "Fatal Login Error. hr = 80041500, f = 1" and now if I try that URL instead of going to the login page I just get the error message but I can still login to my hotmail plus account if I just go straight to hotmail.com

Fatal Login Error
by 1texasgal Mar 25, 2008 2:57AM PDT

Thank you for posting this update. It helped us login to our hotmail or windows live account.

However when we go from My Pictures, to email a photo, it lets us login but does not attach the photo.

Anyone else have this problem or a solution? Thank you all!
