Outlook - MSN Mail

[Guest]

Hi all. Just a little complain I'd like to put on the books regarding the
recent change in requiring a subscription to MSN and the ability to use
Outlook.

I spent nearly $200 on my Office 2003 Professional version, for the primary
purposes of using the most up to date software and to utilize outlook. Now,
outlook I had never utilized before, and I'm sure many people were not using
it for home use either. . .being that we had other ISP services. Now we're
required to purchase more.

I think with the money used for office, we could utlize outlook (provided in
office) to the fullest.

No, you are not required to do so. You can use Outlook in full without
requiring any extra services. Outlook is just the client you use to obtain
mail from your provider. So if you do not agree with payment for those
services you'll need to contact your provider.

Then maybe you could help me out. Ever since, I'd say, Thursday...When it is
going through the synchronizing headers step, it stops and says that if I
wish to continue I need to upgrade my MSN subscription.

That's because Hotmail now requires a subscription to access its services
through an e-mail client such as Outlook express or Outlook. You can still
use Outlook to its fullest but if you want to access your Hotmail through it
you will need to upgrade to a paid account. There ARE still other **FREE**
alternatives to Hotmail, Microsoft doesn't tie you to only being able to use
Outlook with Hotmail.

Thanks In Advance
