BlankI received this subject e-mail today from MSN asking to make changes in the settings of Outlook
Express in order to have access to my MSN POP3 mailbox after Feb 1, 2007. Can someone verify that
this message was actually sent out by MSN.

Thank you

Yes it was sent by MSN. There's been a fair bit of news about it on the web.

MSN®.

No, only accounts, and then only the few remaining accounts
with POP3 access.

Hello Kath,

Thank you for confirming that the e-mail came from MSN and not from anyone trying to take over my
computer.

I made the changes and now I am not able to get my mail through Outlook Express.
Instead of bringing up the mail I get a window "Logon - pope.email.msn.com". It ask for:
Please enter your user name and password for the following server:
Server: pop3.live.com
User Name:
Password:

I entered my user name and password (same as signing on with MSN) but the window comes right back
together with the following error message:

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected.
Account: 'pop3.email.msn.com'. Server: 'pop3.live.com'. Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: 'ERR authorization failed", Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error:
0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92.

My questions a
1. Are the new settings suppose to work also before February 1, 2007?
2. Are others having the same problem and what can be done to correct it?

Any help will be appreciated.

Anders Hellstrom

Please see the thread that PA Bear directs you to - one paragraph to note in
paticular....

"3. The notice may also be poorly worded.[ reference "no later than
Feb1")....since changing prior to Feb 1(e.g today) may result in both
incoming and outgoing errors. You may wish to try periodically or wait until
the deadline. Your mail client will normally provide a error if failure is
present."
