does anyone know why my emails wont go out the firt try with outlook thru hotmail?

i try to send out email notifications trhough eBud and when i go to send them i get an error message that says;

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 then have to close the email queue manager and ebud....then i reopen ebud and the queue manager and then i am able to click on send and the one that didnt go thru before as well as any that are left in queue go through.

any ideas on how i can get this to work better? like it used too? just click and send?

i use outlook express thru ebud and i have a hotmail premium account because i heard that outlook doesnt work with a regular hotmail account any more.

thanks in advance. - chriS
