MSN has slowly and continuously been dropping the pop accounts. You need to
use the outlook connector to get mail messages into Outlook. Free http
accounts are also loosing the ability to be used in Outlook/Outlook Express/
and obviously Windows Mail

Hi All,

I have scoured these newsgroups but I have not found a solution to this
problem.

Prior to installing Vista I've been able to easily synchronize my MSN
account, now the process of "Process Marked Headers" is simply taking
forever
and on rare occassions it may download one message.

I had also previously easily configured outlook to use the MSN account as
the primary inbox. Now Outlook does not allow this (or I've forgotten how
to
do it).

Thanks in advance for any help provided,

Shaun

Yes, since Windows Mail/Outlook Express is free, they'd like you to pay some
dollars for Outlook in order to access POP3. But MSN Premium is rather
clunky at best anyway...one would do well to use a different provider more
along the lines of someone private or even something like CenturyTel or
Comcast. Interestingly enough, my Gmail account still works through Windows
Mail here in Vista.
