Using POP3 not HTTP, please see the origional subject line of the post.
MSN supports POP3 with SPA authentication in addition to HTTP. The issue is
POP3 SPA authentication on Vista. The same configuration works just fine on
Windows XP, I am sure the firewall is configured correctly, have tried
disabling anti-virus to see if that resolved but no luck. Same results
using Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007, have also tried Windows Mail on Vista
and have the same issue. Any other help?
