Hello, I was just testing httpmail out on my MacBook so I can set up a relatives new MacBook with hotmail account on their mail.app

Now I can send E-Mails with my hotmail account with mail.app fine, but when it comes to retreiving emails, it's telling me accessing hotmail via outlook now requires a subscription, then gives me a URL.

"Could not connect to 'Hotmail'
Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up at http://join.msn.com/general/Email"


Have I done something wrong to set it up or have microsoft caught up with all the old hotmail accounts and it just does not work anymore?

Microsoft stopped people accessing Hotmail via outlook etc as it comprises the security of the Hotmail e-mail service, something do with plugins for outlook AFAIK.
 
they stopped it because they relised that they could charge you for it!

if you dont use pop or https then you have to log into the website.... que the adverts and more money.... money money money money money... i mean you would think that being the richest company in the world has enough without trying doggy tactics like this which quite frankly hinder productivity and close any options you have....
