Hi all,
I tried to add my MSN account as HTTP in Outlook 2003, and it's worked. But
when I tried to add it as POP3 instead of HTTP is didn't work at all, I used
pop3.emai.msn.com for POP3, and smtp.email.msn.com for SMTP servers. Is there
any special or unusual configurations that I should do to add my MSN account
as a POP3. The reason to add it as POP3 is to take that advantages which I
can't use them while it's added as HTTP account. Thank you in advance.

Best Regards, and happy new year for all.
 
Do you have an msn premium or a hotmail plus account? AFAIK, they dropped
pop3 for msn premium accounts (once again) and you need to use the new
outlook connector. Hotmail plus doesn't support pop3 or the connector. Free
accounts are web-only - HTTP support is ending and pop3 was removed years
ago.

Hi Diane,
Thank you for your assistance, it was very useful, and now I can see why it
didn't work with me that's because I have Hotmail Plus account and it doesn't
support POP3. OK, if I want to redirect that emails to an another account,
not MSN or Hotmail, to an another account that supporting POP3, is that
possible in my case? and if yes, from where should I redirect my emails from
MSN to the other account? because I tried to find it under options menu and
couldn't find it.

Thank you and best regards :)
