For those with a paid Hotmail account, forwarding the mail to a POP3 type, such as GMAIL is an option. From your live.com email webpage, select "Options" (right side of screen), then "More Options (bottom of list), then "Manage Your Account", then "Forward Mail to Another Account".

You can synchronize your hotmail messages to your MS-Outlook by usinbg Microsoft Outlook Connector. Search the internet for this small file provided by Microsoft and install it on your machine. I use this file to synchronize my emails with MS-Outlook, it is working with MS-Outlook.
Let me know if you have any problem.
Thanks

Regarding HOtmail I suppose I have grandfathered into continued OE functionality. Lucky me.

Regarding the inference to SmartPhone functionality. I have an HTC Wizard (many different phones are built on this platform), the specific model is Cingular 8125. It is standard equipped with Windows Mobile 5 (many hacked ROMs to 6.1 but not yet deployed to this device). An included application service is the familiar MSN. Jack the phone into WiFi, or the Phone Co. Available net connect. In this area it is GPRS which is about the same as 802.11g for speed and can connect from all secluded areas of this area.

This has messenger, home (search, spam, etc.), hotmail. There is a messaging option in which you can list pops like gmail, sbcglobal, coxnet, sprintnet, etc. standard mailbox address. And it also has as in the old OE a slot with just use hotmail listed. I had acquired a hotmail account a decade or so back when 486 was the new gee-whiz processor of the future. Besides the assorted spaminations. Hotmail has outlived many ISP I have employed in the past.

I would agree with previously poster, the Live mail desktop app is not a pleasant experience. It reeks in my humble opinion. I like to include a smiling me thumbnail at the beginning of a mail note. and occasionally blend an illustration into the text. Live mail client is not at all flexible for this formatting. It is slow and unpleasant to look at. But, it is new and could possibly go through some changes. There is after all IE8 in the wings. Even though the mail client idea was to unwind from IE from what appearances would seem.

I would suppose should OE stop working with Hotmail. I would have to abandon it for Gmail or actually consider that puke splater livemail client.

But it doesn't accept my "custom domain" either. Hotmail Help says, "You can forward e-mail that's sent to your Windows Live Hotmail Inbox or custom folder to another hotmail.com, MSN.com, Live.com, or Windows Live Admin Center e-mail address."

The "just forward it to your gmail account" advice no longer works. When I put in a gmail address as the destination, Hotmail gives me this error message: You're only able to forward mail to a custom domain or an e-mail address that ends in hotmail.com, msn.com, or live.com. Please try again.

Comment from Chris Gutch on 2008-02-04

2008-02-04T11:30:42Z

I use OE6 and have recently opened a Windows Live e-mail account. I find it isn't possible to access the e-mail address ****@live.co.uk, though it is possible to access an old e-mail address that I have which is ****@hotmail.co.uk! So it seems that addresses ending in @live.co.uk are the ones being discrimiated against! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to get a new hotmail adress ending in @hotmail.co.uk and my old one is too frivolous for general use.

With the @live.co.uk address, the error message says "Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up at http://join.msn.com/general/Email" However I can't see anything on the site about how to subscribe! No such message comes up when using the @hotmail.co.uk address.

Finally to add insult to injury, when I tried to redirect e-mail from the @live.co.uk account to my domain e-mail address, it doen't recognise it as a domain! Maybe domains ending in .co.uk are unacceptable!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Chris

In order to continue to use Outlook Express with your Hotmail mail you need to uninstall IE7 and all the previous functionality will be once again available. I spent the whole day today figuring it out and it is now once again working as before.

I converted my free hotmail account to the Windows Live hotmail and I am still running outlook express on my PCs, no problems. Of course, I can no longer obtain my hotmail email using my older Palm Tungsten C device, which is why I went searching for explanation and advice. I have used outlook express to manage my email accounts for years and this is the first that I have heard about it being phased out. I will try the windows live mail download and test it before converting all of my family's PCs and laptops. Thanks.

That workaround will not work anymore. Windows live hotmail doesnt want to forward to gmail anymore.

Good luck with that - the documentation on Microsoft's site said that those
were only available to Premium (i.e. *paid*) subscribers. I know it did not
work with my free account when I tried it.

you can use pop with the new msn live email.
1) use your whole email address for the username (emailaddress@msn.com)
2)for incoming mail use pop3.live.com and for outgoing use smtp.live.com
3)make sure the use ssl is checked for outgoing also.

Does anyone know why when I reply to an email I have to scroll to the bottom of the email I'm replying to before I can type? Unlike in the old version where it started at the top of the page. When I send emails now they are upside down and people have to scoll down past their email to see my reply.
I've looked for an email layout/format control but I can't find one.
Help!!

hi Leo, I tried your solution with a gmail account and here's the problem: Gmail pop3 access requiers SSL, and the email service I'm using ("skymate", email connection by satelite for boats) does not support SSL. does anybody know of any free email account that supports POP3 but does not requier SSL?

You're only able to forward mail to a custom domain or an e-mail address that ends in hotmail.com, msn.com, or live.com. Please try again. !!!

I`ve been using the Thunderbird add-on for Hotmail and Yahoo mail and, in the main, it seems to work reasonably well, although there have been several updates in quick succession and it looks as if the author has to keep on top of things as regards Hotmail changes. Also very occasionally I get an error box, which (rather quaintly) says "negative vibes from Hotmail (or Yahoo)" (huh?!) and asks for my password over and over again, but I think that might be something to do with too much in the way of multi-tasking attempts at my end! Poor PC gets a tad confused, methinks.

I just read the article advising how to forward email from my Hotmail account to my AOL account. However, this states that you can send your mail to Thunderbird (which I use also). Which is the better solution to the "new" Hotmail?
