Hotmail Interface Information

As of September 1st, 2009, Microsoft disabled the DAV protocol and users
were no longer able to access their Hotmail email accounts using a mail client
program. They have and alway will be able to access their account via the
traditional web method.

DAV (Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol) was a way to access a
Windows Live HotmailŽ account.It was the way in which a mail client
(such as Outlook Express) communicated with a web-based mail server,
similar to a POP3 or IMAP protocol.

Microsoft replaced DAV with DeltaSync, which is their next generation email
account access protocol.

Microsoft states it is faster than DAV and integrates better with their new
Windows Live Mail services.

Microsofts reasoning was that DAV was a legacy protocol that was not well suited
for the new larger Inboxes ( 5 or 10 GB is standard now ) that are supplied with
most web-based email services and that DeltaSync offered a more efficient access
protocol.

Enough of the DeltaSync protocol and documentation has been released to facilitate
communicating with mail clients ( such as Outlook Express ) but not enough to
allow all of our functions to work.

Development is continuing at My Spam GoneŽ to release an updated version that
will be compatible with Microsoft's new DeltaSync protocol.

Prior to this change, My Spam Gone was working quite well with Hotmail and Live Mail
and we had experienced exceptional results.

You may view the results of our testing in the Table 1a below.

We apologize for the delay, but assure you as Microsoft makes the interface
available to us, we will outperform any current Spam filtering and
email rescuing software that is currently available.

If you wish to leave your name and email address for future reference,
we can notify you when our software is functioning fully with the new
Microsoft DeltaSync Protocol.
