    cant access http mail from o_express6

    Locked

    by wtcr · about 20 years, 3 months ago

    Hi
    I changed to a new computer running WinXP and now cannot access my http email account with Outlook Express 6.0. I have been accessing the same account on my previous computer running WinME and OE 4.5 without no problems.

    OE 6.0 gave me the following error message:
    “Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: ‘http://mail.aec-aircon.com:8089’, Server: ‘http://mail.aec-aircon.com:8089’, Protocol: HTTPMail, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80042007”

    Another error message that came up after initial configuration of my http account was:
    “Your server does not support the required http methods”.

    Is there some settings in OE 6.0 that I should disable to make it compatible to OE 4.5 and allow me access to this particular email server?

    Thanks
    Sue

      There is a similar problem associated with Hotmail. The text of the write up at Microsoft is as follows (http://tinyurl.com/yr64z):
      —–
      CAUSE
      This behavior can occur if you have multiple Hotmail e-mail accounts that are assigned to a single e-mail identity in Outlook Express.
      WORKAROUND
      To work around this behavior, create one or more new e-mail identities and verify that only one Hotmail account exists for each e-mail identity.

      For additional information about how to create a new identity, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      You might want to try the new identity approach.

      Thanks Oldefar.

      I was referring the http mail from my company’s website – not the hotmail account.
      Any pointers.

      Thanks
      Sue
