With the current WebDAV protocol, if your account is a free account and grandfathered, the http server will continue to function
until WebDAV is deprecated in favor of DeltaSync.
Posted earlier in this thread: The decision to deprecate the WebDAV server in lieu of the DeltaSync server was delayed. If your
account functions in your email client it will continue to do so until further notice(email, web post etc).
Here's the notice concerning the WebDAV delay
http://emailsupport.spaces.live.com/...708!5745.entry
Once the DeltaSync protocol fully replaces WebDAV for a free or free-grandfathered accounts you've three options
if the account remains a free account.
- Windows Live Mail(WLM)
- Web Interface(mail.live.com)
- upgrade Outlook 97/XP to OL03 or 07 and use the Outlook Connector
Other Options:
- convert the account to a Hotmail Plus account($20/yr U.S., D.C, or Puerto Rico, and U.S. credit card) and use the pop3/smtp
servers to access your account(note: Pop3 does not sync with the Hotmail folders). Pop3 is capable in OE, OL, WLM, Vista Windows
Mail, and a few other 3rd party email clients.
