-- Carl G "Vanguard" wrote in message ... "mae" wrote in message ... Hotmail only stopped retrieving mail from your POP3 accounts for free users. It never stopped and continues to function for paid accounts. Hotmail doesn't use POP3 at all. It uses WebDAV. Even paid accounts use WebDAV. If your free Hotmail account was created before 29-Nov-2004, it got grandfathered in so you could continue to use Outlook [Express] to connect to the WebDAV-enabled mail hosts to send and receive. If your free Hotmail account was created after 29-Nov-2004, WebDAV access is disabled so you are stuck using Microsoft's webmail interface. You cannot use POP3 (to receive) or SMTP (to send). Whether an old or new Hotmail account, paid accounts have WebDAV access enabled. They do NOT use POP3 (to receive). Read the setup instructions at http://snipurl.com/n51v. Notice you are instructed to setup an HTTPmail account (and that uses WebDAV scripting). Back in June 2002, Microsoft stopped POP3 access altogether from their Hotmail service and required users that wanted to continue using POP3 to switch to the MSN mail service; see http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,101981,00.asp. I'm not experienced with MSN but I thought they switched over to Hotmail. Hotmail is what they show on their home page for their mail service. I suppose in the same way Microsoft grandfathered in old free Hotmail account to continue WebDAV access past the policy change date that they might've also continued POP3 access for old MSN accounts (the "legacy" accounts that PA Bear mentioned) before the switch to using Hotmail. Do you have a msn.com or hotmail.com account for an e-mail address?
