Gmail Adding MSN Web Serviers

When will Gmail add MSN email access? MSN on the Web does not offer
POP 3 Access. But they offer a Web Based access that will work with
OE / Pop3.
I am not sure of the Technical words.

No it's not... http stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, POP is
the Post Office Protocol. But you basically agree that it's not in
the next part.

I hate to say it, but probably never. Microsoft is technically a
competitor in this field, so they would never make it easy for GMail
to do this, and while GMail would possibly be interested in it, it's a
lot of work with little potential gain. As you stated, MSN does not
offer POP3 Access. POP3 is an industry standard, so GMail supports
getting mail that way, MSN does not. OE does NOT use POP3 to access
it, but a proprietary Microsoft HTML way, and OE is a dead product,
Microsoft says they'll stop supporting it.
