MSN pop3 access blocked in Vista Beta 2?
That is very obvious!
"Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote: "jg3arrow" wrote in message ... Sorry if I am repeating known problems. But since installing Vista Beta 5384 on 7/29/06, Microsoft Outlook no longer will send or receive POP3 mail. If you try to go into "Accounts" and change or reload any of the accounts or settings, and send a test message, you just keep getting a password dialogue box that never is accepted, no matter how many times you try to click it. It appears, however, that a backup webmail account that I have with Earthlink will receive mail (or at least the usual Earthlink spam). So I tried to access my msn mail account through Windows Mail (nee Outlook Express), the latest MSFT mail program that no other third party software or hardware vendor will ever support or recognize. No luck with POP3 accounts, although I did somehow receive a peppy "Welcome" message from somebody deep within the bowels of WM. Next it was on to MSN, to try and use MSN Mail. It receives. But when you try to reply or send a new email, it never finishes "downloading" (its explanation) and it never lets you type in the message body field. Hotmail works. But it is about as clunky and archaic as playing "Pong". I don't see this as progress, Vista developers. A fix, please. I know nothing about Outlook or MSN mail. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Please reply in newsgroup. Do NOT send email.
