When they do change things it takes about 3 days for a new .lua file to come out to get access back.
http://freepops.org/en/download.shtml I stopped using Windows about 5 years ago and other than having to wait on a new .lua for hotmail I haven't had a problem since I handed Yahoo and Hotmail over to FreePops to get my mail from them. You can also configure outgoing (SMTP) mail as well so if MSN is his main account he can still send mail. --Shaun --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
