| | Re: POP3 Access to Hotmail Works for my ancient (~10 years old) MSN account too, on col110. So much for FILO (unless it's just because this account happened to get farmed out to Colorado recently). Perhaps you have to earn Brownie points by being nice to MS...

| | Re: POP3 Access to Hotmail It was never anything other than a free Hotmail account. You can still get them (or could, a few weeks ago).
