On September 27th 2004 New and Existing Free Hotmail Customers who have not set-up their accounts to access Hotmail from Outlook or Outlook Express will no longer have access to this feature. ***Please note there is no change for subscription customers, both those with Primary or Secondary accounts.***
MSN no longer supports the ability to download Hotmail to a Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express inbox for newly set up accounts. This change in an effort to help protect you from junk e-mail.. (Note: If you have a free Hotmail account and you have already set up Hotmail to download to Outlook or Outlook Express, you can continue to use this feature.) Junk mail distributors (spammers) have been known to exploit MSN Hotmail accounts through Outlook and Outlook Express to send unwanted messages to MSN Hotmail customers and others in the e-mail community. By making this feature available only as part of a subscription service, we can more effectively help protect consumers. Requiring customers to provide billing information helps us to limit the amount of unsolicited e-mail that MSN members and others receive. If you currently have a free-Hotmail account and you want to configure Hotmail to download to Outlook or Outlook Express, you can upgrade to MSN Hotmail Plus or MSN Premium. Both of these paid subscription services support this feature.
