I tried setting up the hotmail account thru Outlook express6 and when i try to recieve the mail, i get this 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: 'The request is not valid or not recognized "INVALID-METHOD"', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 122, Error Number: 0x800CCC3E"
