Hotmail's trying to get me to stop using OE to check my mail.



I have a few really old Hotmail accounts that are still able to be used with
OE. The one that I mainly use has been getting a lot of flak from Hotmail
lately. They will temporarily stop my OE access to the account and then
send me an email saying that I need to verify the account. So I have to go
to the link and type in the stupid letters and numbers and then I can use OE
with it again. Seems to be getting worse. Should I expect that access via
OE will just be shut down permanently in the very near future if I don't
wish to pay for OE access?
