September 1st OE changes with Hotmail
We've gotten MS emails saying that on Sep 1 Outlook Express must be
reconfigured for POP3 only in order to get Hotmail web mail. I've done this already and it works. HOWEVER, I have 2 Hotmail web accounts and when I receive mail for both separate accounts, it puts BOTH account mail in one inbox location (the Local Folders location). Dumb. Is there ANY way to separate my two Hotmail web accounts so they can be viewed from their own locations? Thanks. EW |

Me again, Ron........
I've done what you recommended (see below). It works! Now for a final question. When I send/receive the mail to the new POP3 Hotmail accounts in OE6, it downloads the WHOLE message, attachments and all, unlike my other non-POP3 Outlook Express Hotmail messages (invalid after 1 Sep) which only download the header info (To, From, Subject line...). Is there any way to get only the header info w/o downloading the entire contents? Thanks again. EW "Ron Sommer" wrote in message ...

With pop email, it is all or none. You do not download or you download the
whole message. -- Ron Sommer MVP-Mail "Lonestar" wrote in message ... Me again, Ron........ I've done what you recommended (see below). It works! Now for a final question.

There are clients capable of downloading just the POP3 headers, but you would have to learn how to use the client all over again; they are not similar to MSOE. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

Mr. Miller, I know now that using OE with the "new" POP3-only service will not download just headers. But I was hoping. I know that my "old" service with OE would get my legacy Hotmail email with headers only. Seems like a step backwards as of Sep 1! In any case, I installed Thunderbird email client and it does everything! I set it up to get multiple Hotmail POP-3 accounts and it (optionally) to downloads headers only -- not the entire message contents -- in their own folders even! It's great. Sending and receiving mail is flawless. Such a deal. Anyway, thanks for your comments. EW |
