Greetings,

I recently installed v.6 final and have the sme server configured as gateway & server.

I use Outlook Express 6 configured to retrieve hotmail messages from Hotmail's http mail server.

When attempting to retrieve hotmail messages, OE6 generates the following error:

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'jasoncolton', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Service Unavailable', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCCF0

The really odd thing is that ocasionally, it works.  Most of the time, it seems to time out and return the above error.  I have no other problems with HTTPS / SSL while browsing secure sites with Internet Explorer.  

Has anyone had a similar issue while using Outlook Express 6 configured to retrieve hotmail messages from Hotmail's http mail server?

Thank you,
Jason Colton
