Setting up outlook express.
I am trying to set up a hotmail and a yahoo account on outlook express.I did everything right when setting up my hotmail account, but I get the following error:Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Forbidden', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 998, Error Number: 0x800CCC33It shows my server URL as: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.as For my yahoo. I was wondering if I can get the ingoing and outgoing server information please.It IS a pop3 email, at least I'm sure it is.... Also, is there anyway to connect another email service?I have a "business" email account, and that is a GMX(www.gmx.com) account. Is there anyway to set that kind of account up either?Young and learning...Have mercy - ChaosIf this post resolves your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" buttons.
