Hotmail HTTP server access denied out of blue
About a week ago the Hotmail HTTP server began denying me access, out of the
blue: Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail (HTTP)', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Authorization Required', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC32 Whenever I try to access the Hotmail account now, I repeatedly get a Logon window specifying the Hotmail HTTP server and asking for my User Name and Password. For years before this I had no problem accessing the their HTTP server via OE. My Hotmail account is in good standing and I have no problem logging into their webpage, nor any problem using Passport (same account). I have made no changes and I have not had any other internet problems or other OE mail account access problems. Contacting Hotmail support, I was directed to OE support, but I cannot find an e-mail OE support address or link. However, I believe that this is a Hotmail server error. Has anyone else experienced this and/or is anyone aware of a solution or where I should see help? |

Hotmail HTTP server access denied out of blue
Hi XB77,
Can you think of anything that might have been done that coincides with the connection problem? One possibility (for the error) reported by RonV. Turned out to be the setting in Internet Options/Security/Custom. I had changed the log on option from prompt for user name and password to anonymous in an effort to try and recreate a problem a friend was having and totally forgot about it. Changed it back and fixed the issue with Hotmail. -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MVP - (IE/OE) Lynnwood, WA * "XB77" wrote in message ...

Bingo! Thank you very much Tim and Ron. (You wouldn't believe the idiocy
that I've been getting from Hotmail support.) I was wrong, I had changed something. I was fooling around with my custom security settings for IE after reading that if one selected High, one could avoid getting hacked via a highjacked or malicious website. Apparently in getting back to the workable, if more dangerous settings that I had had previously, I had set Anonymous Logon and although none of my other mail servers cares, nor any of my online accounts, the Hotmail HTTP server doesn't like that. So the IE security setting for Logon is now set to "Prompt for User Name and Password," which Hotmail's HTTP server accepts, as before without prompting me (and rejecting the correct answer as I had been having a problem with). |
