| | Microsoft PO3 Accounts & Unicode Encoding We've been hearing a lot of buzz in these groups about Microsoft's opening up POP3 accounts for folks in various Nations -- and there seems to be some excitement about it. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a POP3 account? Secondly, what are the advantages and disadvantages of sending a message in Unicode [UTF-7 and UTF-8] Encoding? Can it only be done from a POP3 account -- or is that not a consideration? -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor |

| | Re: Microsoft PO3 Accounts & Unicode Encoding The advantage of using a POP3 access is that you can use any mail client that supports POP3, which is just about any mail client there is. That would include a number of mobile devices. The disadvantage is the inherent limitation of POP3. POP3 works fine when an account is access by a single mail client/device. When multiple clients access a single account, synchronization between them is a problem. That's why IMAP was created. And Microsoft's Hotmail HTTP protocol is there is essentially their proprietary version of IMAP. As for UTF, it's one way to support languages other than Western European. The disadvantage is that some older mail clients don't handle it well. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "D.

What's the difference between UTF-7 and UTF-8? And do we have to use Unicode to send messages in languages other than English -- in order to get all the diacritics and Non-Latin alphabets?

| | Re: Microsoft PO3 Accounts & Unicode Encoding You friggin Troll. Starting again. What you just asked you already did. Collecting all your info and then start pulling MS KB's showing that either the KB or the poster was wrong. This is what you did a few years ago and you are starting the same way again. Go and play with what you were born with and not play your games here. You think everybody forgot about you? Then you are greatly mistaken -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. "D.
