Are you trying to set up a free MSN Hotmail account? If so, has it ever
worked at any time since Sept. 26, 2004?

Are you trying to set up an MSN Internet account? If so, I believe that the
HTTPMail server name is slightly different.

Oh, and I just noticed a typo in the server name; should be a colon, not a
semi-colon, after the "http".
