Error 18597

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

When I first set up Entourage, it worked fine with my hotmail account. I hadn't used it for a bit, just logging on through hotmail. When I tried recently, I got a message HTTP error. Access to the resource is forbidden. Explanation says the windows live hotmail folder list could not be received. Then it lists error 18597. I deleted the account and reset it up and got the same information. I read some of the answers, but not being to computer smart don't understand some of it. I need more basic, step-by-step help. If someone has the time please help.

Did you convert Hotmail from a web account to a POP account?
