| Express, come June 30th. this will no longer be possible.

| Â Â A change is coming for users that access Hotmail with Outlook Express.
| Â Â Outlook Express uses a protocol called DAV (Distributed Authoring and
|   Versioning protocol) to access a Windows Liveâ Hotmail e-mail account.
| Â Â DAV, like POP3 or IMAP, is the way that a mail client communicates with a
| Â Â web-based mail server.

Hotmail doesn't work with Firefox 2.0: Microsoft answers to Linux users "Switch
to Outlook Express"
,----[ Quote ]
| Iâm the increasingly discontent owner of an Hotmail account (donât laught, I
| subscribed back when Hotmail wasnât owned by Microsoft). Recently, in order
| to compete with Google on the Web, Hotmailâs interface was overhauled: it now
| has a âclassicâ interface, which works reasonably well but is still rather
| limited, and a supposedly âFullâ interface that should make it the equal of
| sites like Google Apps and Yahoo Mail/Calendar/etc.
