hi all. does this apply if you go to the www.hotmail.com sight to get your hotmail? and use OE for your other mail? since this is what I do. from Mich Verrier from New Liskeard Ontario Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Scholes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:44 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] outlook express changing to windowsmailforhotmail accounts
Evening folks. OK, here goes: Windows Live Mail is accessible to a point with JAWS 9.0, as scripts were included. It is just like OE but with extra functionality like being able to send an image directly in an message, rather than as an attachment. OK, so now that's out of the way, can I just remind you all that this only applies to people using Hotmail accounts with OE at this time. If you are using a Hotmail account, then either get a free POP3 E-Mail account from somewhere like GMail, or upgrade to Windows Live Mail, its not really all that bad.

Our information | indicates that you use Outlook Express to access a Windows LiveT | Hotmail® e-mail account via a protocol called DAV (Distributed | Authoring and Versioning protocol). DAV, like POP3 or IMAP, is the | way that a mail client communicates with a web-based mail server. | | As a valued customer, we want to provide advanced notice that as of | June 30, 2008, Microsoft is disabling the DAV protocol and you will | no longer be able to access your Hotmail Inbox via Outlook Express. | As an alternative, we recommend that you download Windows Live Mail, | a free desktop e-mail client that has the familiarity of Outlook | Express and much more. This next generation of free e-mail software | will allow you to easily manage multiple e-mail accounts-including | Windows Live Hotmail, plus other e-mail accounts that support | POP3/IMAP. Better yet, Windows Live Mail integrates well with other | Windows Live services, and downloads in minutes. After you provide | your user name and password, you will automatically be linked to your | Hotmail account, providing continued access to your email and | contacts. | | We encourage you to download Windows Live Mail at | http://getlive.com/wlmail/overview. | | And, to make your transition smoother, we've provided answers to | frequently asked questions below. | | Again, thank you for your use of Outlook Express and we are confident | that you'll be just as delighted with the new Windows Live Mail. | | Your Windows Live Mail team | | | Frequently asked questions: | | Why are we disabling DAV? | | DAV is a legacy protocol that is not well suited for client access to | large inboxes. Over time, as we've provided more e-mail storage to | our users-and now offer 5GB inboxes for free-a more efficient access | protocol is needed. | | What are we replacing DAV with? | | We have developed a new, much more efficient protocol called | DeltaSynch that is far superior to DAV especially for large e-mail | inboxes. It enables email clients to only download changes since the | last time the client polled the email server for changes. This is | much more efficient and high performing than having to download all | the headers in every folder as is the case with DAV. | | Is DeltaSynch compatible with Outlook Express? | | The new protocol unfortunately is NOT supported by Outlook Express and | support would require too many changes to the Outlook Express | software. | | Is there a different or new mail client I can try that uses | DeltaSynch? | | Microsoft is providing Windows Live Mail, a free e-mail client that | has the familiarity of Outlook Express and much more. This free, next | generation email client enables users to easily manage multiple | e-mail accounts including Windows Live Hotmail and other e-mail | accounts that support POP3/IMAP. Windows Live Mail also integrates | well with other Windows Live services, is optimized to work with | Windows Live Hotmail, and offers: | | Offline mail | Windows Live Hotmail account aggregation for those users with multiple | Hotmail accounts | Account aggregation for POP and IMAP mail accounts | Rich photo-sharing capabilities | Advanced search via integration with Desktop Search | Safety tools (Anti-Virus scanning, anti-phishing, anti-spam features | across aggregated accounts for customers who do not have an | Anti-Virus product) Integration with Windows Live services including | Windows Live Spaces | RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feed aggregation | Ability to send SMS (short message service) text to a mobile phone | from Windows Live Mail | Where can I download the new Windows Live Mail client? | | You can download the new client at http://getlive.com/wlmail/overview. | | Microsoft respects your privacy.
