MSN Premium

[Guest]

I use MSN premium for e-mail and am not sure why. Using Win XP Pro and MS
Office '03. Doesn't Outlook do the same or more than MSN? If I eliminate
MSN, how hard is it to get everything transferred to Outlook?

I am just interested in any info you may have regarding the benefits of both
programs, pro and con. Thanks

If you don't pay the premium fee, MSN won't let you access your mail via
an email client; you'll have to use their webmail interface.

What does this mean? I pay the fee. If I don't pay the fee, and use
Outlook, do I lose my MSN e-mail address? I would pay the annual fee just to
retain that. Thanks

Not exactly true. Hotmail Plus also allows it.

You could. I'm unsure what MSN does with accounts from lapsed subscribers,
but I expect they disappear after a while.
