I have no idea why you would make the totally incorrect assumption that I
allowed Choicemail to send the "challenge" message. Perhaps you're not
totally familiar with the program and don't realize that upon setting it
up, once can set it to NOT send a challenge message.

For future reference, rather than make insulting and absurd comments about
the intellect and responsibility of others, you should take a good look in
the mirror. So, since you seem to enjoy passing along suggested reading,
may I suggest Emily Post to you.

With XP, I had used a program called Choicemail

Which uses the challenge-response scheme embraced only by irresponsible
and unintelligent e-mail users. Read:

http://spamlinks.net/prevent-secure-...atter-fake.htm
http://spamlinks.net/prevent-secure-backscatter.htm


which, while advertised as a great spam filter--and it is--it's great as
a sort of server as it had a web mail utility which allowed one to setup
MSN and Hotmail accounts, for example, and have that mail brought
directly into the Outlook inbox. As I use a PDA, I would like to be able
to sync my mail and read the MSN mail while I'm on the road. Moving to
Vista, the old version of Choicemail doesn't work and, sadly, their newly
upgraded version no longer has the webmail utitlity.

Be warned that any innocents inflicted with your "challenge spam" can
report you to the blacklists which means you could be blacklisted by
recipients or ISPs using those blacklists. Misdirected backscatter,
especially when it is known to be misdirected (which means it was
deliberately sent in the blind), is reportable as spam.

If I get your challenge spam (i.e., not a challenge sent as a result of me
sending you e-mail):
(1) I will respond to it so that you WILL see the spam in your Inbox that
you attempted to avoid by using me as your unpaid and involuntary spam
filterer.
(2) You WILL get reported to SpamCop for your misdirected challenge.
If you throw your turds in my Inbox, I'll make you eat 'em.

By any chance, do any of you know of any other method whereby one can add
the MSN or Hotmail accounts to Outlook WITHOUT adding a new set of
folders (inbox, trash, sent etc) on the desktop or, failing that, a way
to trick Outlook into letting me move the message from the MSN inbox to
the Outlook one?

Nope. All POP3 and Exchange accounts get aggregated under one local
message store. Each HTTP account gets its own local message store (and
why you see another set of folders). I don't remember what happens to
IMAP accounts.

ChoiceMail, by doing the yanking for you those other accounts, was doing
the aggregating of them into your ChoiceMail account so to any e-mail
account it looked like they all got delivered to the one account. Of
course, this means the original headers could get lost or changed so
tracing the sender becomes more difficult if not impossible.

Hmmm, or, come to think of it, maybe there's a way to sync with an MSN
or Hotmail account that I'm not aware of so if that's possible, I'd
GLADLY take that suggestion as well! :-)

I haven't used Hotmail Popper (http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/) in years.
It might still work but I don't think it is free anymore. Since it
operates as a local POP3-to-HTTP proxy, you are retrieving using POP3 in
your e-mail client which (for Outlook) means those e-mails get aggregated
into your one local message store for POP3/Exchange mails. However, since
Hotmail Popper (or any 3rd party service) needs to use WebDAV to access
Hotmail, and since Hotmail dropped access using WebDAV from freebie
accounts back in November 2004, you will need a paid Hotmail account.

You do realize that using Teranews' so-called "free" service (for which
you paid a signup fee but will not get refunded) results in them
spamifying your posts, right? Your posts are spam because of them
appending their spam signature.
