Are you an MSN Premium or Hotmail Plus subscriber?

I've only seen that error once before and it involved and MSN Premium
subscriber. It apparently & "automagically" cleared up on its own:

PS: Users of other MSN/Windows Live applications hosted on the same servers
have seen similar, unusual issues since Saturday, 10 Nov-07, so it all may
point to temporary problems on MSN's end.

I am using OE 6, XP and SP2.

I came in this AM and OE no longer connecting . I deleted and
reestablished
MSN account in setup and it will now not download my folders on setup,
with
error message:

An unknown error has occurred
This operation is not permitted for this type of client.

Configuration:
Account: MSN
Server: http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata

It was all working fine when I left work on Friday.

I changed nothing over the weekend, perhaps MSFT downloaded some
improvements over the weekend?

I can still access my mail from the hotmail site, so the passwords are
still
good, and I'm not totally out of business for the day (other than being
able
to access email folders), but would appreciate an ideas or suggestions
from
those more knowledgeable than I.

thanks!

I am afraid the problem has not fixed itself overnight.

I am not a premium service subscriber.

The fact that others are experiencing it is interesting, and would help
explain why OE access went away in Entourage on my macbook as well on
Saturday. Interestingly it did not disappear on my wife's laptop, but she
doesn't do automatic software updates (rarely updates at all!). So there is
something awry at MSFT's end.

Anyway, I am still open for ideas, but I don't begin to know how to contact
MSFT.

PA Bear, thank you for your response, if you should hear anything else I
would appreciate your input.
