Microsoft To Disable ALL Hotmail Outlook Express Access


Recommended Posts

Nothing. Like Windows Live Mail, it already uses DeltaSync.

Correction: Outlook 2007 (even SP1) still uses WebDAV; you need to install the latest version of the Connector if you wish to continue to use Outlook to access Hotmail after the cutoff date. BTW, I'd just edit the above message, but it seems the time in which you can do that has expired.

I do not like WLM as much as I used to like OE. The reason, I have 2 hotmail accounts, one I use for personal emails and one I use for other business & email junkies. I have had different junk mail settings on these and they had been working perfect with the OE. However, when I put these in WLM, it seems I can only have one kind of setting that is enabled on both of them. I really do not like it because I need higher junk mail protection on one (and only one). Do you guys know any way around this?

I really miss the "identities" feature that is there inn OE but not in WLM.

I guess everyone knows by now that this is not just for Outlook Express, but will also affect Outlook users as well, since it uses DAV as well.

In either case, it is such a disappointment, I have been using hotmail since the first day it came out, and a few years ago started using it on my OE, then kept it on my Outlook 2003. It was always very convenient way of fetching my forum subscriptions, e-mails from friends, etc.. A lot of people know my e-mail address as hotmail.

Now, I would either have to get rid of it, or like some other idiots out there, check my e-mail only once a month..... How could they live like that!? I would go crazy if I didn't check my e-mail for a few days..

Microsoft is just driving people away from its products, both Outlook and Hotmail. I know we can probably set forwarding... I was wondering if logging into the MSN Messenger is considered as logging into hotmail e-mails, and if that would keep the accounts alive, if I forward them. I really don't want to have two e-mail clients on my desktop. One is more than enough.

My dad is a premium user only because he needs to be able to store his emails locally. He used Outlook Express, and was really annoyed when he found out about this. He hates Windows Live Mail, thinks it's slow and bloated, and I have to agree with him.

Your dad would be terrible disappointed to know that Hotmail DAV protocol does not save e-mails on Outlook or Outlook Express.

Non matter what you are, premium user or not.. Unless he sets up POP or Forwarding.

Outlook is so ten years ago to be honest. I'm surprised they've kept support for it this long. WLMD is a very good client, with very few problems. One of my most used programs actually.

WLM is just outlook express with forced ads. Outlook is so much better when you need to organize contacts, integrate schedule, appointments and reminders to e-mails. I only wish it was faster, and had every feature OE had (like Watch/Ignore).

well, i ended up ditching outlook express and hotmail altogether. i've retired the account and migrated over to gmail.

windows live mail desktop is great for one thing, and that is email migration: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/01/i...into-gmail.html

one obstacle is the lack of of mail forwarding in hotmail. to get around this, i just turned on the vacation auto-reply option in hotmail and directed everyone to my new address.

i hope that helps.

The thing is, even gmail is not %100 guaranteed, maybe it will last 5-10 years, before they start changing stuff.. The only way to guarantee you can keep all of your e-mails and same account for ever is to have your own domain and e-mail, but the problem with that, most hosting providers do not feel stable. I have 1&1 and they are spotty.

Help ... I don't understand one word of this. Could someone please tell me what it means?

I use Outlook Express for my email.

I also use Hotmail.

I sometimes access my Hotmail from Windows Live Messenger but have also accessed it from the internet.

I don't get my Hotmail from my Outlook Express or vice versa.

What does this mean to me? Could someone please explain in layman's terms?

it just means that you won't be able to access hotmail through outlook express (though they've recently extended the deadline indefinitely), but since you don't use outlook express, you will be unaffected.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
