"MS has postponed the end of Hotmail/OE compatibility indefinitely."
Get out of town!!!!! The last 'note' I got from them was that sometime in
June (if memory serves...) they were pulling the plug & they basically said
to switch over to WLM or you're SOL if you want to use a client to access
email.
Was that a nasty little marketing ploy to get people to switch over or
what?!?! Oh well. I moved everything over to WLM & killed all my account
setups in OE so there's no point in going back now. Guess their tactics
worked.... *sigh* Microsoft.........
