Re: Will Outlook 2002XP not work anymore w/ free hotmail?

MSN Hotmail no longer supports Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV)
for free user accounts. Outlook uses the DAV interface to connect to Hotmail.

Only "paid Hotmail accounts" will work correctly with Outlook. If you configured
Outlook Express or Outlook to access your Hotmail account before DAV support was ended,
you may still be able to use Outlook Express to open a free Hotmail account. However,
eventually Hotmail will no longer support DAV for all free Hotmail accounts.

If you want to use Outlook to access your Hotmail account, you must have an MSN subscription.
