Can't Logon to Incoming MSN Server in Outlook 2003

[Send/Rec in Outlook 2003 Using MSN Email]

I'm running Outlook 2003 (Office 2003 Standard) on Windows XP. I'm trying to
send/receive emails on an MSN paid account (which uses Hotmail). When I add
the email account in Outlook, and then test the account settings, I get back
TWO errors:

1) No response from send server. Verify port and SSL info is correct.
2) Could not logon to incoming server.

I know my username and password are correct because they work just fine when
I logon to the MSN website. The insturctions for the setup of email accounts
say I should use SPA, and I have tried that. But it doesn't work either way.
HELP!

What type of account do you have se up? are you using the outlook connector or HTTP protocol?

If it's an MSN paid account, are you using POP/SMTP to access the mail
server?
