When I click on below link--I get message that the link does not exist.
Can anyone help me out with the below 4 questions I posted in this thread?

Anyone know of what these revised Outlook Express instructions are and when they are being emailed?? Thanks in advance for answering the above four question! |

PA Bear misspelled "Discussion" in his second link. The corrected link is:

PA Bear (and other fellow tech gurus):
I am posting a reply I placed in MSN discussion group in case you can shed some light on it (as well as also benefit other OE users who use MSN POP3): Another MSN POP3 user did not get email on 1/23 alerting him to make changes to pop settings (i.e. from pop3.email.msn.com to pop3.live.com ). When he called MSN today to inquire if he should make changes from email.msn.com to live.com he was told not to! Why are some POP3 MSN accounts required to make these changes (by 2/1) while others can be left alone with present MSN POP3/SMTP settings? As those who have kindly helped me this week, I was told to change settings by MSN email on 2/23/06. Another curious thing is that my friend signed up for MSN around late '98 or early '99, while I signed up for MSN in late '99. Thanks in advice! "PA Bear" wrote: Oops! Corrected below.

Please post any/all follow-up to the thread with the subject "MSn Pop3
Update Revised"; replies to that thread are being crossposted to this newsgroup (OE6) as well as OE General and MSN Discussion. (IOW, we've already seen what you posted below in the other thread.) Your questions are MSN-specific. Since we don't know much about POP3 MSN accounts in the OE-specific newsgroups, it's best to await replies from the regulars in MSN Discussion. -- ~PA Bear Sportsluvr wrote: PA Bear (and other fellow tech gurus): I am posting a reply I placed in MSN discussion group in case you can shed some light on it (as well as also benefit other OE users who use MSN POP3): Another MSN POP3 user did not get email on 1/23 alerting him to make changes to pop settings (i.e. from pop3.email.msn.com to pop3.live.com ).
