To correct myself...
Hotmail customers are able to utilize POP3, or as mentioned below, other
clients such as Thunderbird.
I meant Hotmail PLUS customers are able to utilize POP3 as they currently
do...
Hello All,
I wanted to take some time to address the concerns/questions that have
started on this thread.
Microsoft is doing this to force people onto the client: False. We are
doing this because the DAV protocol is inefficient on larger mailbox
sizes.
Once Hotmail upgrade storage space synchronization issues happen within
DAV.
DeltaSynch is a stable protocol that will be able to efficiently handle
large
accounts.
This locks people into a Microsoft client to access Hotmail: False.
Hotmail
customers are able to utilize POP3, or as mentioned below, other clients
such
as Thunderbird. Though Live Mail is optimized for usage against Hotmail,
it
is not the single choice for connection. You will also be able to
continue
full access through your browser.
Does this affect Live Hotmail and Outlook Connector - Yes. Any user
utilizing Outlook connector 1.8 or earlier will need to upgrade to the
new
OLC. Live Mail is currently DeltaSynch ready and Live Hotmail is
available
through your browser.

Please Note:

from
Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail.
3. The Windows Live "all-in-one" installer /may/ install more than just
