Time: 14:33 EST/19:33 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

"Dear MSN Member, Recently, HotmailR announced that in order to improve customer experience and reduce spam and junk e-mail abuse on MSNR services, Hotmail will no longer allow new e-mail accounts to be accessed via MicrosoftR Office OutlookR and Outlook Express. We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express. However, any new Hotmail or MSN accounts you create will not be accessible via Outlook or Outlook Express. Because you actively use Outlook or Outlook Express to access one or more of your MSN Hotmail or MSN e-mail accounts, this could be the ideal time to consider subscribing to our powerful new e-mail service - Microsoft Office Outlook Live. As an Outlook Live subscriber, not only can you get uninterrupted access to your MSN e-mail accounts from Outlook, but you will also enjoy many other benefits. "

Gee, cobalt, $450 dollars! That is truly unbelievable. The student and teacher edition is around $100 and you can get the Pro edition, on the web, for around $240.

Better yet, we can buy Microsoft software through our company at considerable savings from the quote above.

But, hey, as a Microsoft shareholder, please pay FULL price whenever you can! lol

I use my Outlook/Outlook Express access (WebDAV) to run RoamDrive (http://www.roamdrive.com). So I pay $20 a year for e-mail and 2GB of remote storage. Not a bad deal.

Did other free email accounts have something to do with this? I was starting to move all of my hotmail correspondences over to an SMTP/POP accessible gmail account after the Outlook send feature was disabled.

This 180 by MS has me reconsidering.

Another example of MSFT listening to its customers.

mooresa: You should try owning a business, you can't ALWAYS give the customer what they want.

It is a pain to have to say no, but you still have to say it.
