These file types provide information whenever the end user modifies the preferences within MSN email explorer settings. The format for naming the file extension mailhost file is “MSNx.mailhost”, where x represents the version of the MSN email program installed. These modified preferences will be saved into the file extension mailhost namely “MSN#.mailhost”, and as well as the file with extension “DOWNLOADHOST”.
