And one more changed to Outlook today, with POP disabled.

Edit:

They're certainly going to use any opportunity to disable POP so as to discourage as many people as possible from using it.

Yep! And another one today changed to Outlook with POP disabled. And after logging in on the web, you can't access the POP or Forwarding settings until you log out and back in again.

Makes you wonder where Microsoft get their software "engineers" from.

My POP setting hasn't changed back to disabled on my two MS related accounts after that initial time they did so a month or so ago (at that time the disabling occurred about a week apart). Now that I've said that, one or both will accounts will probably deactivate POP access today sometime (grin)....but they are still working as of a few minutes ago as I used my Outlook client to access them using POP. Time will tell.

Same with me - once the "@hotmail.com" accounts have been converted to an "@outlook.com" account, they have POP disabled. Once reset to POP enabled, they have all stayed that way.

Sorry if I implied that they changed back to POP disabled.

I have so many old Hotmail accounts that each week or two I am being notified of the "upgrade" to Outlook for one of them.

And today, another one converted to "@outlook.com" with POP... (have a guess...) disabled.

At least they leave the 'mail forwarding' alone, so unless I actually tried to collect the mail using POP, I would never know that it's set OFF, because the forwarding still works! smile.png
