MSN Premium accounts with @msn.com .NET Passport can use the following server:

POP3: pop3.email.msn.com

SMTP: smtp.email.msn.com

Need to tick "SPA" in Outlook Express and Microsoft Office Outlook.

Can this 2GB @msn.com also?

tried using these settings for the 2 GB msn account I created today, but POP3 server type doesn't work.

had to choose server type as HTTP to access the account via MS Outlook 2003.

So no pop3?

Well i always understood that when i migrated to the new MSN 8 from the old MSN 2.:p:p that pop3 would be disabled and i won't be able to use it anymore.

However if they do bring it back it's probably just for old MSN accounts or paying customers as it is a different server.

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.
