Another big plus for OE is how *quickly* it opens when clicked...

Outlook EXPRESS...

In Truth.

No waiting for the spinning doughnut in WLM to finish -- or just a
significant delay w/o the spinning doughnut -- if not signing on.

How long will XP users be able to continue using OE and be able to connect
to HTTP and POP3 accounts?

It's actually a rolling donut. This was a favorite of Kurt Vonnegut. ;^)

Thanks...

But why 2014 for sure?...

And guaranteed connectivity to MSN HTTP and POP3 accounts?

We were told earlier the spigot was to be cut off.

If that's not so, and we are good to go until 2014, I'll drop WLM in a
flash -- and write it off as a bad marriage -- best forgotten.

and outlook is fast? Outlook 2007 is not fast.... even on my 4 core 6 gb ram
machine!

tutorial on how to optimize outlook!

Elimination of Http access using WebDAV in OE....
...last Msft comment was -- No sooner than January 2009.
I.e. might be sooner than 2014 the date when lifecycle support for the entire product expires.

People at MSFT are fond of making pronouncements like this, but the customer
still has some control. The truth is you never know, and everyone who
continues to use WebDAV in OE or Outlook is voting in its favor. The
implied threat is that if you cut me off I will begin using Gmail full time,
and looking at Gmail's ads whenever I log on to their web site. Then they
won't be able to tell their advertisers, "We have X million active
subscribers."

Judging by the comments in microsoft.public.msn.discussion, people are even
continuing to use MSN Explorer to access their MSN mail. I don't think that
MSN Email is DeltaSync enabled. Correct me if I am wrong here.

I am now using Outlook Connector, more or less exclusively. The latest
version seems to have most of the wrinkles out of it. Knock on wood.

I assume you are talking about "lifecycle support" for XP, but MSN support
continues for as long as you pay your monthly subscription fee.

Smart Post...

Thanks.

I meant XP Pro SP3, MSN HTTP and POP3, plus OE6 all connected and
compatible...

Date reasonably certain for continuation.

Anyone's guess?

Yes, 2014 is the date for XP/IE and included applications.
It was not a pronouncement(ie. press release, blog comment etc), iirc it was included in a KB article or something akin to one.
