The above is copy and paste of the e-mail I received. I'm on windows Vista
64 bit and my e-mail address ends in @msn.com. Do I need to do anything the
WLM I use is setup (going from memory) useing pop3 and imap, not "DAV"
protocol.
Thanks in advance

OK I was wrong, incoming mail is pop3.live.com - outgoing is smtp.live.com.

If you are using Windows Live Mail, you can choose either POP3 access, or
HTTPMail access. In WLMail, the latter uses the newer "DeltaSync" protocol,
and not the deprecated "WebDAV" protocol.

If you are using Windows Mail, you must use POP3 access because Windows Mail
doesn't include HTTPMail capability.

The advantage of HTTPMail is that your email remains on the server, and you
can synchronize the local client from any computer, at any location.

Ron,
You need to do nothing in WLM if using pop3 or DeltaSync.

You would only have to do something if you were using one of these servers in your email accounts server properties.

Thank you for the replies, Winston since I am set up for
incoming mail as pop3.live.com - outgoing is smtp.live.com. Am I OK for the
september change over? Or if not how do I or where do I go to confirm I'm not
using the "http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata" (used with
Msn.com accounts) since I do have an @msn.com account?
Sure glad you guys know this stuff .. Thanks.
