| How long before MS Money will be able to synchronize with Outlook instead of using Money Express? it is years that I am asking for this functionality! |

| Fritzly, with Money 2004... you can sync your Outlook contacts. |

| They should enable the SmartPhone/PocketPC Phone Edition to sync up automatically with this improvement to MSN. |

| #4 Exactly, I don't want Money Express in my systray; #5 only with the Business edition of 2004 and again what coulbe useful is to have your scheduled payments showing up in OK Calendar. Btw I checked Money 2003 but the only differences with 2003 are some subscription offers and the payment service, I forgot the name. |

| My problem is that they force you to switch to a HTTP email service and I rather prefer my POP3 one... as long as it last. |

| Frtiz: BS.... they force you to sign up for one (which you do anyway when you get a Passport account), just because you sign up for one doesn't mean you must use the account, or even if you do use the account, that doesn't mean that you have to give up your POP3 account. |

CPUGuy I use my MSN, POP3 account, as MS Passport to sign everywhere, the problem is that when you install any MSN browser they automatically switch your mail account to an HTTP based one while I want to keep my one the way it is now. I might be able to use a hotmail account instead of my primary MSN one but I rather prefer the IE UI, it is "lighter" and less AOLish.
Indeed I like the idea of the sidebar but, besides the fact that there are alternatives already available, the original "Sideshow" is still the best. IMO of course. |

| HailStorm: I use three Hotmail accounts, they are quite unreliable, they often make Outlook XP and 2003 hang and HTTP accounts don't work with Exchange, POP3 ones do. The idea of this MSN Hotmail PIM site is cool is cool if: it will be reliable, it will not cost too much and if you don't have Outlook. Seriously I wonder how much all these "premium services" will add to people monthly budgets; I am one of the few who still pay $19.95 with MSN but I subscribed in 1995. I also have DSL with BellSouth and my total monthly bill is already more than $60 per month. |

Thanks for the update Hailstorm. So if I understood correctly I will be able to include my HTTP MSN account as a sub-folder in my Exchange mailbox, or it will be a separate folder, on the same root of my mailbox as today? Honestly the reason I never switched to BYOA is the POP3 issue. Don't get me wrong I like the idea of being always connected, reading my email and checking news while I shave in the morning, reading and dictating email in my car etc. etc. The big problem here is that all these services are offered by different companies; in my case: DSL by BellSouth, cellular by T Mobile, MSN, who knows who will offer the one for the car, etc.; plus all these services will have several levels: basic, de luxe, premium, platinum etc. I mean what is going to be the total costs of these services? In order to be financially succesfull a large amount of people must sign in. It is like email: I remember in '94, at the time I was using Compuserve MSN was not there yet, and most of my friends did not even know what email was. So my point is how much would is the average Jo0e Smith willing to spend, monthly, to be totally connected?
Of course all of us would spend a lot, I even have a network with domain, 2003 Server and Exchange at home, but the average user? Anyway thanks again for the update I am looking for MSN 9 and see what is going to be. |
