Nothing. I educate those new users I help set up web based accounts for, and I'm
happy to
help a customer who asks for help, as you did in the case you cite, but I don't think
there's
much else I or we can do.

My customers have more problems with the inaptly named Hotmail than all other such
services
combined. It's so bad that I have a big sign that reads "You will be charged your full
connect time, even if Hotmail is not working or fast" and even then I get complaints.
I
educate those I can, but I've found that most of the educable public gave up on
Hotmail a long
time ago. It's a no win situation, I'm afraid.

No. I use Netscape Messenger to do the same thing. No one has messed with the
configuration,
but someday someone will.
