intermittent "unknown error" in OE when polling hotmail

This started only recently for me - it is becoming more frequent and with
longer duration before (apparently) fixing itself. Any clues?

Configuration:
Account: Hotmail
Server: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
User name: [deleted]
Protocol: HTTPMail
Port: 0
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 80004005
