I've installed a proxy that works under Mozilla but I am now unable to access my
email using Outlook express.
My error is:
Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail',
Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail,
Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80042007

The protocol appears to be proprietary and called HTTPMail. I've found some
resources on the subject such as: http://sourceforge.net/projects/httpmail where
some code has been written.
