This error is only happening with Entourage X, so if you download
Office 2004 Test drive or purchase Office 2004 and setup your MSN/
Hotmail account in there you will not get any error messages when
sending email.

I hope purchasing an upgrade to a program I was perfectly happy with
isn't the only answer.

The only solution at this time is to download Office 2004 Test drive
which is a 30 day trial period located by going to www.mactopia.com
under the quick downloads. Microsoft Technical Support does not
troubleshoot any issues that occur in Office X for Mac because it
reached it life span of 5 years, and it seems that the Hotmail servers
are being blocked for some reason and there was not changes made to
this application, so the way MSN technical Support checks for a issue
is if so many caller call in and then they will track it. Until this
issue gets fixed on the Hotmail servers users can use Test drive for
now.

Just be aware that in order to move your mail back to Office X you will have
to manually drag the messages back as MBOX files.

MSN/Hotmail accounts are all web based so you are only viewing these
emails off the MSN/Hotmail server, but it will be a issue if they
place any tasks or Calendar events within the program then go back to
Entourage X, so the only suggestion at this time is just place in
there MSN/Hotmail accounts in Entourage 2004 Test drive and use it for
only emails, because once the servers are back up they can still get
these emails in Entourage X without moving them out as MBOX format.

I also suddenly started experiencing the same problem (same error code).
It's very frustrating. How can I contact Microsoft to add my name to the list
of people with this issue, so that they see it is worth addressing. Not that
I'm into conspiracy theories, but it's almost as if they wrote a bug into the
software to force us to spend the money on an upgrade...
