MSN didn't migrate to POP3 yet, they are working on it.

Hi,

Actually MSN has been on POP3 for a while now :0)  It does appear to require
setting "Secure Password Authentication" in Outlook Express.  I have the same
kind of question as the originator of this thread:

Is there any way to programmatically perform the user id / password encryption
using VB before connecting to their POP3 server?  Is this a part of MS' crypto
API?

Thanks!
