Unable to send or receive messages for the Msn (suesbooks4u) account.
Windows Live Mail can't connect to the Hotmail server. To send and receive

or try again later.

The HTTP server is often unreliable. Try the POP3 version:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

If you were referring to the advice to change from HTTPMail to POP3, you
would have to remove the HTTPMail account first. And be advised that POP3
normally defaults to deleting email from the server on download. If you need
to keep your email on the server, check your account properties for the
option to leave messages on the server. The option should be checked to
leave the messages on the server.

Hmm...I've quite a few accounts and have found the http server to be as reliable as pop3. At one time pop3 and http
accounts(WebDAV) were stored on different servers. That ceased a few years ago...circa Hotmail Plus regaining pop3 capability which
also coincided with existing legacy pop3 accounts made capable of WebDAV access.

The accounts might be housed in different storage bins, now with free pop3 and accounts provisioned for all types afaik access for
all three types(pop, deltasync, webDAV)goes to the same place. The exception are Live.com accounts which are not capable of
WebDAV.

That is not the normal mode for most POP3 clients; it never hurts to check,

Correct..but it is what it is in WLM and unlikely toggled on due to pop3 access for all Hotmail accounts which didn't happen until
Feb 2009(for everyone

winston,
I don't remember that setting being the default in earlier versions. Has it
always been that way?

I added a pop account to check the setting. 'My server requires
authentication' has been added to the setup. I haven't setup a new account
for a while. Before you added the account, then went to properties and
checked 'My server requires authentication'.
