Re: [Help] MSN - POP3 failures
MSN has been weeding out pop mail for sometime.
Easiest way to fix it is to:
-Open Outlook Express
-click Tools
-click Accounts
-click on the Mail tab
-single click on the MSN account
-click remove
-click add
-click mail
-type your name
-type your MSN email address
-select HTTP from the drop down menu
-select Other from the other drop down
-in the mail server box type in:
http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata
-click Finish

| OK; After my pop3 failed and after several emails back and forth to MSN "support" they convinced me that POP3 was dead. I then set up Outlook to do HTTP rather than pop3.
Today (Jan 23) I receive a mailing from MSN that there are changes to pop3 access and certain changes in the setup must be made by Feb 1.
So pop3 lives? I will try tonight to see if the changes will bring it back to life.

Frankfort, KY | I followed the instructions (three times). I still got an error when I tested. Interesting note is that the three test messages went through.
So what is happening at MSN and how do I get to talk to a live support person. |
