The Microsoft MSN department ends the feature of Free Hotmail access by Outlook and Outlook Express, which can send up email via email client software, without the internet interface, the protocol they use is WebDAV (web distributed creation and version control ).
Microsoft MSN Communication Services Department Product Manager Brooke Richardson said, from Monday, to use WebDAV new users must pay, Microsoft plans to transfer existing WebDAV users to subscribe users in the next few months. He said: "We really want to continue this service free of charge to customers, but in the past few months, we found that spam senders have used this special agreement."
Ricederson said that Microsoft takes measures to limit spam in the past year, such as the up to 100 emails per day, and open a new account to provide authentication code. But webdav-based spam is still growing. Hotmail Users now choose to access the Hotmail account through Outlook, "MSN Hotmail Plus" annually, $ 99.95 annually.
Hotmail began to provide 250 trillion free storage space in June this year, paying users to get 2G, but have encountered some problems. Richardson confirmed that the upgrade has to fall behind the plan. Microsoft now decides the upgrade order in accordance with the length of the time of use, and it is expected to complete the upgrade before the end of the year, and it is scheduled to be completed in autumn. Richardson said: "The storage space used by customers is much more than our expectations, so we have increased the online storage space."
