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!
