New POP3/SMTP Outlook Express settings for MSN ISP customers
 
I got an email telling me I needed to change my MSN's pop3.email.msn.com to
pop3.live.com and smtp.email.msn.com to smtp.live.com in Outlook Express by
2/1/07. It also instructed me to remove the check in the box for 'logon
using secure password authentication' in 'Incoming Mail Server' section of
the 'SERVER TAB' in Outlook Express.

Regarding the 'SERVER TAB' in Outlook Express:
It does NOT instruct as to whether I should ALSO remove the check in the box
for for 'My server requires authentication' in 'Outgoing Mail Server' box
in 'SERVER TAB'. Presently it has always been checked and within it's
'SETTINGS' button it it says to 'use same settings as incoming mail server'
is selected/checcked.

Should I keep the the box for 'my server requires authentication' in
'Outgoing mail server' section of 'SERVER TAB' checked? Again there is no
instruction as to whether to uncheck that box.

Regarding the 'ADVANCED TAB' IN Outlook Express:
Please note, I am aware from the instruction emailed to MSN POP3 users that
under the 'ADVANCED TAB' that the boxes for 'this server requires an secure
connecton (SSL) BOTH nned to be checked now under the 'server port area', and
that the incoming server Port # needs to be changed from 110 to 995, while
apparently the outgoing server port will remain unchanged as Port 25.

Also, for those MSN POP3 users, has changing these setting (from
pop3/smtp.email.msn.com to pop3/smtp.live.com ) caused difficulties receving
pop3 mail in OE or sending mail? I heard from MSN tech support that there
are problems and for me to await revised emailed instructions, which I
haven't received yet; the February 1st deadline is quickly approaching.

Thanks in advance for answering each of the above questions. (Note I am an
advanced Outlook Express user).

I tried to made the change tonight and it didn't work, will try on the 31st
and if no joy, again on the 1st. Been with M$N since 1996, might be time
for a change if they can't get it together!

'PA Bear' I appreciate your response which provided a link to a google group
discussion of this. Unfortunately it doesn't address any of my below
questions. I would be very appreciative if another Microsft MVP could
address these questions (and hopefully it will benefit all MSN POP3 users!):

1) Regarding the 'SERVER TAB' in Outlook Express:
It does NOT instruct as to whether I should ALSO remove the check in the box
for for 'My server requires authentication' in 'Outgoing Mail Server' box
in 'SERVER TAB'. Presently it has always been checked and within it's
'SETTINGS' button it it says to 'use same settings as incoming mail server'
is selected/checcked. Should I keep the the box for 'my server requires
authentication' in 'Outgoing mail server' section of 'SERVER TAB' checked???
[Again there is no instruction as to whether to uncheck that box.]

2) Regarding the 'ADVANCED TAB' IN Outlook Express:
Please note, I am aware from the instruction emailed to MSN POP3 users that
under the 'ADVANCED TAB' that the boxes for 'this server requires an secure
connecton (SSL) BOTH nned to be checked now under the 'server port area', and
that the incoming server Port # needs to be changed from 110 to 995, while
apparently the outgoing server port will remain unchanged as Port 25???

3) Also, for those MSN POP3 users, has changing these setting (from
pop3/smtp.email.msn.com to pop3/smtp.live.com ) caused difficulties receving
pop3 mail in OE or sending mail??

4) I heard from MSN tech support that there are problems and for me to
await revised emailed instructions, which I haven't received yet; the
February 1st deadline is quickly approaching. 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!

New POP3/SMTP Outlook Express settings for MSN ISP customers
 
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!

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.
