Just an FYI in case you use Hotmail/Outlook for usenet or non-work mail

Citing a rise in spam abuse, Microsoft Corp.'s MSN division has ended free
access to its Hotmail Web-based e-mail service through the Outlook and
Outlook Express clients.

MSN had offered its 187 million active Hotmail users the ability to read and
send e-mail through the e-mail clients rather than a Web interface using a
protocol called Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, or WebDAV.

But as of Monday, news users wanting to make use of WebDAV will have to pay
for the service, said Brooke Richardson, product manager for MSN's
communications services. MSN plans to transition current WebDAV users to
subscription plans in the next few months as well.
