With Microsoft\u2019s announcement this week that Outlook and Outlook Express will no longer support desktop access to Hotmail accounts raises some interesting questions on data portability.
\nAfter 30th June, Microsoft\u2019s Windows Live Mail application will be the only means by which desktop and offline access to Hotmail accounts will be supported. This effectively means that a Hotmail user\u2019s messages continue to be imprisoned within a closed ecosphere of services and applications. OK, smart people won\u2019t be using Outlook, Outlook Express or Hotmail, but millions do and many have years of messages archived that they may wish to continue accessing outside a web-based interface.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
