If its the same as hotmail.com:

http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

Your smtp address won't change just because you're using pop3...

It did for me, then it stopped. Something like ollllld accounts still have access but others I blocked, i dont really know the details. Regardless, i dont use OE i use thunderbird.

you have to pay now to use the hotmail pop service I believe.... ms claimed it was because too many people were using them to spam

pop is working fine for me and i have a free msn account. The only thing i have differently to most people is I use Windows Live Mail Desktop and i'm signed up for Live Mail (both in beta)
