SYMPTOMS
========
You cannot send or receive e-mail on MSN, The Microsoft Network, using a
Handheld PC (H/PC) running Microsoft Windows CE.
CAUSE
=====
The MSN e-mail servers use secure authentication to encrypt messages that are
sent and received by an e-mail client. Windows CE includes an e-mail client that
does not use secure authentication and therefore cannot send or receive e-mail
through the MSN e-mail servers.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this issue, you can configure a Hot Mail account to send and
receive messages from an MSN e-mail account using Pocket Internet Explorer. Go
