Working for sure, but cost a whole day of searches and trying. You need to log out and log in – this is the key. Then you’ll see msn.com with all that fancy shit, instead of mailbox. And now you can go and change your data back.

Wow, it´s fucking amazing, the only thing missing in the tutorial was the Log out – Log in trick.
Thank you
January 29th, 2009 03:41

Thanks

This worked for me on my iPod touch with my Windows Live email address but I had to go into settings and change my Region to United Kingdom. If that doesn’t work for you, try switching your timezone to London, England as well, but I found that I could switch the timezone back to a US city. Thanks!

So I tried this but it still doesn’t work for me!
Gmail says: Server denied POP3 access for the given username and password.
Please contact Microsoft’s support team for more information on POP access.
Server returned error: “user does not have POP3 access”
Any clue on why this is happening? How would I see if my email is linked to another email?
January 26th, 2009 22:39
This doesnt work for me even after unlinking my accounts. Any ideas
January 25th, 2009 03:16
The hack didn’t work with my account which was linked with another account. After I unlinked them, this worked like a charm
January 23rd, 2009 03:12
Awesome! worked for my US account.
switched it back to US and it still works. Thanks,

Why not support SMTP. If I open some email, using pop it just open locally (exp it show open on my outlook but on http://www.hotmail.com it still close). Now is the time of mobile. Many tiny little hardware have internet access and can access internet. Using pop is complicate because you have to choose leave a copy or take all to HDD.
