Outlook Express DOS?

[Lee]

Was it today when M$ announced due to the mass of spam sent via hotmail that we would no longer be able to use it from outlook expressto send and receive messeges?

I am sure it was today, if it isn't can someone remind me of the 'when date'?

OR have they stopped it I wonder :thought: ​

That just means that you will now have to pay to get 180 spam messages a day, instead of getting it for free. I wonder if that also means they will stop selling your email address to third party vendors ?? Probably not. I am glad I don't use hotmail anymore ...

Same here.
In fact, almost every popular webmail provider is plagued by spam. Gmail gets it too, just not as much, and the spam filter is really effective.

There's still nothing like having one's own domain-based mailbox.
