I use MSN Premium today. Will I still be able to access my emails using the MSN butterfly?

From now until your current subscription ends, you will be able to sign into your MSN Premium software and access your email and the other MSN Premium services you have always used. After that date, your subscription will expire and you will be unable to access your locally stored emails and favorites. You will still be able to send and receive email from your MSN account by going to https://outlook.com however, you will no longer be able to sign in using the MSN butterfly.

Note: Your MSN primary and secondary email accounts will convert to ad-funded free email accounts. This means your email address will stay the same. You may continue to use your email account(s) via a computer with internet access as long as you access the account at least once every 270 days to keep it active.
