I don't know about that, but I do know that msn makes email hard.  I tried 
to get a person using msn for access to receive email from my Raq, but it 
would not ever get it.  When I did some research I found that msn requires 
that you MUST use their smtp servers and you must log in.  So, you must use 
either Outlook or Outlook Express so you can log in to both servers at the 
same time.  They also have a page that states that if they prevent you from 
using email that you are less likely to get a virus.  (Yes, I paraphrased). 
But I couldn't believe that they said it.
