Hi pooke,

Your original thread on this topic is still active.

The bad news is MSN does not provide POP3 accounts for new users. It will
not be possible to set-up a MSN POP3 account unless you are a "Legacy" user
who has had -- and continues to have one of these old accounts.

Steve Cochran pointed to a basic transpositional mistake in the error
message, but I fear this is a moot point.

SMTP = Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - Not "SMPT"

You'll find some knowlegable MSN users in the MSN Discussion newsgroup. They
may be better prepared to help.
