Are you running IE7?
Most of the time, the error indicates problems on MSN/Hotmail's end (despite what they may say). Here are some things you can check:
Make certain your time, date, and /time zone/ settings are correct.
IE Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Sites> type in
hotmail.com
(msn.com)
(passport.net)
and Allow All Cookies for each domain.

Troubleshooting Secure Sites in WinXP SP2
(Hotmail and .NET Passport should be treated as Secure Sites)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=870700
/Birefly/ disable your third-firewall [BE CAREFUL!], any "system" tools (NSW, NIS, anything by Norton or McAfee) and pop-up/ad blockers to see if they're interfering.
If you use a router, you may need to adjust MTU values: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315008
IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>HTTP 1.1>toggle on/off; "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" must *not* be checked.
IE Tools>Internet Options>Security>[zone in OE runs; should be Restricted Sites]>Custom Level>User Authentication>Logon>toggle between the setting choices here ['Prompt for Username and Password' and 'Automatic...current Username...' works for me.]
Resetting either or both of the above Tabs to the defaults might help, too.

I'm running Outlook Express 6 for my Hotmail email service. I now cannot
send any attachments except fairly small ones (e.g. 25k). Anything larger
just causes the send function to spin its wheels, eventually giving the
following error msg:
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Hotmail', Server:
'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol: HTTPMail,
Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 12019, Error Number: 0x80004005
I also run Outlook 2003 on the same pc which works fine. I also run
Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition.
