498557 2006-11-12 21:44:00 Every time I start my Outlook Express 6, an unknown error message pops up with these details:

Configuration:
Account: Hotmail
Server: services.msn.com
Protocol: HTTPMail
Port: 0
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 80004005

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

498558 2006-11-12 21:47:00 If you're trying to access hotmail, (with a recent hotmail account), it wont work, unless you pay for it.

A few years ago, it was free but now it isnt.

You'll have to use the browser to see your hotmail email.

498559 2006-11-13 01:31:00 My hotmail account is not a recent one. I've had it for a long time. Do I still need to pay to upgrade my hotmail? Thanks. newaerorules (11450)

"Microsoft won't immediately shut off nonpaying users who have enabled Outlook or Outlook Express access to Hotmail. Instead, the company will phase out those customers over several months and give them plenty of warning that the change is coming"

"Free Hotmail customers who want to use WebDAV have two choices," Richardson said. "They can opt for Hotmail Plus, which offers 2GB of storage space and 20MB attachments for just $19.95 a year. Or they can subscribe to MSN Premium."

498561 2006-12-13 14:17:00 That's not an answer Speedy. Does anyone have a fix for this problem? I get the same thing...Unknown error..my mail is delivered but the error popping up is annoying.
Just stating that Hotmail is going to charge for accounts is bogus. They have been saying that for years and to my knowledge, have not "filtered" anyone out.

Still asking for a fix for this error...

498562 2006-12-23 13:33:00 this has had me puzzled for a while now, I connect through a router and left the LAN detect settings in Internet Explorer connections option blank as it seemed ok without it, now I set them to automatically detect and the internet connection is just the same and Hotmail accounts in Outlook Express connect easily with no errors. jugler (11452)
