Dear Sir or Madam;
I have tried to download messages from (or synchronize messages) with/from
Hotmail but I only this error messages in the details message box.

"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: 'Redirected', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error

I restored my system to a time before the error occurred via System Restore.

I did a system restore and downloaded the new version of Internet Explorer.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx
So I guess I may have gotten a newer version of OE6 in the download.

IE7 Beta 2 Preview does not install an new version of OE.

Furthermore, with IE7 B2P installed you're probably being asked to
authenticate whenever you open a Hotmail folder and you should find that
Send/Receive doesn't work for your Hotmail account.

Hmmm, I must have fix it with the system restore fuction, in any case I have
no problem using OE with IE7. I only used that authenication feature twice,
and I believe that happened when I accessed Hotmail directly. Otherwise it
all works fine now. Thanks for the assist (and information).

Interesting. You're the only one I've seen who does NOT have the problem.

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com', Server:
'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x80004005

I began getting this error message midday yesterday. I've removed and then
added again my mail account settings several times, I've tried restoring to
an earlier restore point. I've checked my mail settings at AT&T Yahoo
(they're my ISP company and I have to use this terrible web mail account).
For months it's worked correctly and all of a sudden, yesterday, I began to
get this error and OEv6 won't collect my mail. Can someone please help me?

Windows version and Mail Client?

And ATT/Yahoo Support said...?
