HTTP mail is disabled in Vista. It won't work in Windows Mail and I don't
think it will work in Outlook either.

HTTP mail still works in Vista with Outlook 2003.

It sounds like you have Secure Password Authentification turned on which you
don't want. Under Tools in Outllook click on E-mail accounts and then "view
or change existing e-mail account". click next, select the account from the
box and then click Change. Make sure that the box for "Log on using Secure
Password Authentification" is unchecked.

Don't think any of the replies so far got to the bottom of the problem. I
have the exact same problem and have so far not found any solution

First. msn.com is a old fashioned pop3 based mail not an http, so
suggesting using an http link to the pop3 server does not work.

Second. Secure password Authentication is needed for msn.com. At least in
win XP and all previous win incarnations, so turning SPA off will not help.
As a matter of fact if you do, you will get a different error saying "your
email adress is incorrect".

Have also tried to turn off all anti-spam and email virus checking to no
avail.

msn tech service will not and does not have an answer since this is a Vista
problem only.

Same here.
I have an old msn.com POP3 email account that requires SPA and have not been
able to get it to work in Vista.
If works fine in two other XP Pro computers with OE express.
I have not been able to resolve this issue.

Thanks-I learned something. I've only helped my Cosuin configure her new
account which is HTTP. Never knew the older ones were POP.

You may need to be a paid subscriber to access the http hotmail account via
Outlook.

I have the same issue and I am a paid member. Wish somebody form Microsoft
would pop in on this one and say one way or the other if it will ever work
