For Outlook and Outlook Express users

Previously I posted an article here titled ‘Hotmail will discontinue DAV protocol from September 2009’. Here is a reminder. If you’re still using the DAV protocol fro receiving e-mail via Outlook, Outlook Express and Entourage from Hotmail, please select one of the alternative solutions before September 1, 2009.

To continue receiving e-mail from your Hotmail account via Outlook Express 2003 and 2007 , you're encouraged to upgrade free Windows Live Mail.

If you’re using Outlook 2002, you’ll need to change the settings in your Outlook program.

Microsoft Outlook users need to download and install the Outlook Connector add-on or change your settings in Outlook Express .

Users of Entourage (in Mac OS X) should change the settings to POP3 protocol. More information

Disable automatic Meta refresh/redirect of websites in browser for security reasons[how to]

Generally speaking, Meta refresh is a method used by some websites to instruct a web browser to automatically refresh/redirect the current web page after a given time interval. You can see this type of refresh/redirect especially in media sites. This is some times annoying or can be used for malicious purposes by redirecting you to a malicious site. If you don’t like this feature, you can disable this in your browser. Here is how to disable this in Internet Explore/Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Internet Explorer: Go to Tools - Internet options - Security tab - Custom Level button - Miscellaneous category - set "Allow Meta refresh" to Disable. Firefox: Go to Tools - Options - Advanced - General - Accessibility and tick the option next to ‘Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page’. Alternatively you can use extension RefreshBlocker . Opera: Go to Preferences - Advanced - Network and uncheck "Enable automatic redirection".
