If you have an old, originally pop3 MSN account, commonly called a 'legacy' (or grandfathered) account that has never been accessed via http then pop3 may still be available. Contact MSN support for further instructions.
If you have a free Hotmail or MSN account and have accessed that account using OE or OL in the past using HTTP, this feature IS still available to you, at least until early 2005. Old free MSN or Hotmail accounts that had never been accessed using OE or OL before the cut-off back in September can no longer be accessed using those programmes.
Free Hotmail or MSN accounts that have been created since the cut off point cannot be accessed via OE or OL.
If you have a pay-for account, you can still access your account via OE or OL even if you have never used it to access the account before now.
The http server address for an @msn.com email for Outlook and Outlook Express is:
http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata
@hotmail.com uses a different address:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
