OE+Hotmail issues.....

[Anonymouse]

Hello All,

I have a new computer with a new install of XP Pro.

I am having trouble getting OE to connect/check with my Hotmail account.

(I realize OE support for Hotmail is gone for new accounts, but I have an
older account and having been using OE+Hotmail for the longest time. I have
it on another computer that works fine.)

I am getting this message when I check for email:

>>
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Hotmail', Server:
'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail,
Server Response: 'Redirect to partner', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x80004005
<<

Anyone know why I am getting this? The 'Redirect to Partner' has me
stumped!

Thanks for your help!

You may need to download this:

Microsoft Office Outlook Connector will allow you to connect to any
Hotmail account, even new hotmail accounts. You will need outlook 2003
or later to use this.

Hope this helps.

I think he said he was using "Outlook Express"...not Outlook.

Authentication fails when you use Outlook or Outlook Express to try to log
on to a HTTP-based mail server if you use Internet Explorer version 7.0:
