Note: This error may be fixed in the newest Hotmail Connector.
We're seeing error 4102 reported more frequently since the release of the new Outlook Hotmail Connector. One astute user tracked it down to using only the Hotmail Connector data store in his profile (or setting it as default) – Outlook created the RSS feed folders and tries to upload them to the Hotmail/Live account and the Live servers don't want them.
The fix: add a pst to the profile and set it as default or disable RSS feeds using a registry key.
Outlook 2010:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\RSS
DWORD: Disable
Value: 1
Outlook 2007:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\RSS
DWORD: Disable
Value: 1

14.0.6123.5001 This tip does not resolve my case of 4102. Also recreating the Hotmail account fails after Outlook is restarted. Another tip was to set Junk Mail to High (which seems to match the SOAP request that fails), but the filtering options are not enabled with my setup.

Compare the safe and blocked lists in both outlook and online. Then save the lists and clear them - does the error go away?
Simply running the latest edition of the MS Outlook Hotmail Connector from the MS download center solved the problem for me: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24677
