That's relatively obvious since all other mail is http not pop3. Http didn't use SPA, only one server and because of that no authentication option.

MSn Pop3 Update Revised
 

I meant the bit about the equality of the Email Address field and the Account
Name field.

However I specifically was talking about POP3 mail servers in general, as
that is the subject of this thread.

MSn Pop3 Update Revised
 

Meant to Post in this thread--

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!

authentication' and have SSL checked for incoming and outgoing on 'advanced
tab':

Troubleshooting error messages that you receive when you are using OL and OE
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813514

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec says
it's not necessary:

paste
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

MSn Pop3 Update Revised
 

That's not a setting issue resultant from the changes..in fact its an error common to any isp or pop3 account that times out for a variety of reasons(antivirus, firewall, server problem, message size, etc)

Errors associated with the changes should take the form of username/pw failure, SSL for incoming or outgoing.

Additonally if it worked last night...the settings were validated..
