this may sound stupid, but how are they going to keep other pop clients like kmail, netscape, eudora, pine, etc. from connecting to thier servers? I run a mail server for an isp and the pop server does not distinguish what type of client is accessing it from anything i can tell. maybe if they plan on using the microsooft pop server and its somehow hacked up to only allow ms clients to connect ot it, but i cant imagine 1/2 million people hitting a ms server of any type and it surviving for long.

My ISP Qwest (soon to be x-ISP) entered an alliance with Microsoft MSN whereby all of Qwest's 1/2 million Internet subscribers will be "transitioned" to MSN where the only POP3 email clients allowed will be MSN Explorer, Outlook, and Outlook Explorer. :-( Linux users need not apply and they are working on a solution for Mac users. If you want to know more, goto www.qwest.net and follow the links...
