Config of outlook 2000 to my Msn mail

[Guest]

Hello, I may be sounding a lil bit stupid as I do think of myself as tech
savvy, but I cannot get outlook 2000 to sync up with my msn mail, I use HTTP
and the hotmail option but always get a message that says

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: 'Service Unavailable', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800CCCF0

this is the same for outlook express, please let me know what i am doing
wrong, my msn id for msgr is tylerd75

Well MS is in the process of blocking access, within OL to hotmail, unless
you opt for a fee option.
So if you can connect it wont be for much longer.

Outlook 2000 does not do http mail.
