ANN: MS Announces Changes for Accessing Hotmail with Outlook Express

  • Start date Start date
I probably should get out more often and I wouldn't have these PC problems.
Want to take me out to dinner?

Since I really don't have any options but to do Windows Live Mail I 've
decided to forget it and just use webmail for the hotmail account.
I have some pop3 emails for my business and want to keep with
Outlook Express for now.

Thanks for your help.

======================

Please Note:

1. Installing Windows Live Mail /may/ disable your access to Outlook
Express.

2. Installing Windows Live Mail /may/ change your default Mail Client
from
Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail.

3. The Windows Live "all-in-one" installer /may/ install more than just
Windows Live Mail. If you decide to try Windows Live Mail, UNCHECK any
unwanted Windows Live applications (e.g., Windows Live Messenger; Windows
Live Toolbar; Windows Live Family Safety) before proceeding with the
installation!

YW but if you'd bother to check out the links in my previous reply you'd see
that accessing free Hotmail accounts in OE, OL, and any other Mail Client
via POP3 is either available now or will be soon.

PA Bear,
MS has delayed the "Disabling of the DAV protocol used in accessing legacy
Hotmail accts (pre Sept 2001) through Outlook Express and OUTLOOK. And they have
not announced the new date, that the intend to disable DAV for good.

Microsoft Extends Deadline for Outlook Link to Hotmail
http://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/...-link-to-hotmail?sub=q_reply&cid=635212&num=4

In the article it also mentions Outlook Express, for this extension. I do not
know how that effects non MS mail applications like Thunderbird, Mozilla, etc...

I still download messages through OE & Outlook for my Hotmail acct, that was
established before Sept 2001.
 
My post dates from 18 April 2008 and most replies to it were made within the
next 2 or 3 weeks. "Nancy" rediscovered the thread on 23 January 2009 and
gave it new life. (My original post had all Follow-up set for OE General
newsgroup.)

There have been many developments since April 2008, including this:
