MS Outlook Express does not download headers only from POP3 accounts.

to learn how to use the client all over again; they are not similar to

Mr. Miller, I know now that using OE with the "new" POP3-only service will
not download just headers. But I was hoping. I know that my "old" service
with OE would get my legacy Hotmail email with headers only. Seems like a
step backwards as of Sep 1!

In any case, I installed Thunderbird email client and it does everything! I
set it up to get multiple Hotmail POP-3 accounts and it (optionally) to
downloads headers only -- not the entire message contents -- in their own
folders even! It's great. Sending and receiving mail is flawless. Such a
deal.

Anyway, thanks for your comments.
