Ah, now we know the rest of the story.
Is this a sudden/new problem or an ongoing one? Has the account ever worked
in OE? Error Code 800ccc32 indicates either it's really an MSN account
(
[email protected]) and OE is configured for a Hotmail account (
[email protected])
or you have some incorrect settings.
If it's an MSN account, see
http://supportservices.msn.com/us/oeconfig/
(valid MSN ID required). Note: Although you can access an MSN account at
the online Hotmail page, MSN and Hotmail accounts aren't configured the same
way in OE as they poll different HTTP servers for mail. Why? I have no
idea.
If it is a Hotmail account:
Make certain your time, date, *and time* zone settings are correct and that
the account is configured as per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;220852.
Temporarily disable your firewall, any "system" tools (NSW, NIS, anything by
Norton or McAfee) and pop-up/ad blockers to see if one or more of these
applications is interfering.
IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>HTTP 1.1>toggle between the two options.
[BTDT]
IE Tools>Internet Options>Security>[zone in which you're running OE (should
be Restricted Sites)]>Custom Level>User Authentication>Logon>toggle between
Anonymous Logon [works for Hotmail in Retricted Sites here], Automatic Logon
with Current Username and Password, and Automatic Logon only in Intranet
zone. [BTDT2]
Resetting either or both of the above Tabs to Default might help.
How do you connect? Is the machine on a network...with or without a router?
Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity
(File>Identities>Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages
from the old Identity before deleting it (File>Identities>Manage
Identities).
Or it's a problem on Hotmail's end.
