I am trying to send an e-mail thru my One Touch Glucose Management Program on my PC and I was told by the folks at One Touch that I had to use or set up an OutLoook Express e-mail account, and I have tried to get my hotmail account address book to transfer over to the new Outlook Express addy book and I still keep getting error messages in the One Touch and Outlook Express programs.I keep getting this message when I try to bring in my hotmail address book!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, Socket Error: 122, Error Number: 0x800CCC33

The correct forum for Outlook Express questions is http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpnetwork/threads. You should be asking there. I'll move your message.That said, the issue you describe is caused by the fact that Hotmail stopped allowing Outlook Express to connect via the HTTP protocol back on Septermber 1, 2009. If you wish to connect to Hotmail using Outlook Express, you'll need to use POP and you won't be able to access the on-line Hotmail Contacts.
