Outlook Express and Hotmail

I received the following message when I tried to use Outlook Express to access my Hotmail account so I guess there's no point in keeping Hotmail any longer. I'm sorta sad too. I've had my hotmail account for awhile and I like my address. But what can I say, they increased my account size and after I got used to it, they took it away. I went to the trouble of setting up folders and filters but it was a waste of time.

So I guess I'll move all my accounts to Yahoo. After all, I'll be moving from 2 megs to 2 gigs.
