Using HTTP mail

[Adam Braithwaite]

I am using Outlook 2002, with a Hotmail HTTP account.
However, when I load Outlook, it takes a long time, and
then comes up with the message: "A connection to the
server could not be established.
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp is now
in offline mode".

How can I correct this?

Does it ever work? If you take it back online does it connect? Are you using
a firewall?

Yes it does work if I keep clicking Send/Receive after I
connect. I am not using a firewall to my knowledge. I am
also using Outlook Express, and it works fine on that.
