Express Hotmail access saved
Microsoft has backtracked on a decision to prevent people from accessing their Hotmail accounts though Outlook Express.
It said in a letter to users that they should instead download the Windows Live email client, which "has the familiarity of Outlook Express and much more."
The letter said that Outlook Express uses a legacy protocol called DAV that was unsuited to addressing the 5GB of email storage now provided with Hotmail. It gave a deadline of June 30.
But, following protests from users it has postponed the move, without specifying a new deadline. See here for full details.
