Neither MSN nor Hotmail use Exchange Servers and the message tells me you
have the Exchange Server service in your Outlook profile. Your best bet
here is to create a new Outlook profile and make sure the Exchange Server
service is NOT added to it. You might be able to get rid of this service
from 'Tools|Account Settings', but it may not let you.
