Reading a "[email protected]" mailbox through Outlook Express

[DH]

I am trying to set up Outlook express to access my
hotmail account (actually an @msn.com address). Having
followed the set up instructions, I always get the same
error message:

Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
Account: 'Hotmail (1)',
Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
', Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Service
Unavailable', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number:
0x800CCCF0

Can anyone interpret this / tell me what i am doing wrong?
