"Help, my computer doesn't work, how do I fix it?!" Is prety much what you just said, perhaps you could give some details. (btw, Hotmail is a very poor quality mail service, Gmail (Google Mail in the UK) is much better.)

what i mean is hotmail accounts can not be downloaded into Outlook express anymore. it wont take the email address and password.

well it has been working daily and yesterday i can not download any messages, it does not take my password i can see the messages online but not on Outlook Express. i have severals hotmail accounts and none of them work

this is what i get

"Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'BooksCurriculum', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Authorization Required', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC32"
i checked microsoft for error message 0x800CCC32 and i did what it said but still does not work.

my questions is is any body still can download hotmail for Outlook express on the FREE account.???

thanks

Did this happen after you downloaded IE 7 Beta? It happened to me, and I found an Optional Software update in Windows Update that fixed it.

You have to use the "Custom" update feature and look for the optional update # KB904942 for Windows XP. It says that it fixes HTTP incompatibilities after installing IE 7. And it did.

Good luck!
