Replacing Outlook Express
As we know the link from Hotmail to OE was cut last month by MS. I do not like Windows Live Hotmail and would like to view my Hotmail account from a system similar to OE.
Any suggestions?

Does Thunderbird offer access to free Hotmail accounts? This is a restriction put in place on Hotmail, not on Outlook Express.

HotPOP3 probably won't work anymore - but you can check it out.

Are you still able to forward emails to a POP3 account?

Oe Replacement
Thanks for the info, I will try these out but looking at the original MS message about OE I expect all connections may be blocked!
