When trying to send e-mail with OE6 under WinXP Pro, I am suddenly unable to send mail and get the following error:

The server does not support the required HTTP methods. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Method Not Allowed', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC35

Has anyone else seen this error? It only occurs in one of my e-mail accounts (unfortunately it's my non-spam account.) Of course I can't uninstall IE6/OE6 in XP since they're now "an integral part of [blah blah blah])"

The only reference I can find in the MS knowledge base (article #Q311022) shows the same error (with a solution that doesn't work) but applies only to OE5 and Win98.

If anyone has ANY ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Are you saying that this used to work ? Have you verified that your OE6 email settings under Tools->Accounts->Mail tab->Mail entry .... are ok ?
