Well I haven't maintained a hotmail account in almost three years.  If
they do something like that with gmail, I would be disapointed, but they
haven't yet.

It sure looks that way.  It seems to me that they're making web sites less
and less accessible to us.  Might as well give up our
computers--hahahahaha.

As I read this and all the input on these big name companies that provide
us
with anti-virus services oh and not to mention our ISP's one might start
to
think that we are being slowly fazed out of the so called technology
world.
FS and WE and others have their work cut out for them to keep up. It's
like
the NLS back when the world was reading the current novel and we had to
wait
2 years. Will we always be behind?

Subject: Outlook Express Service Change





Dear Microsoft Outlook Express customer,

Thank you for using Microsoft® Outlook® Express. 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.
