[snipped] There is a Hotmail daemon called hotway that, when downloaded, becomes hotwayd. Basically, when running on your box allows you to pull Hotmail down through a pop3 gateway. Written in 2004, it hasn't been updated on Sourceforge, and it stopped working for me some time at the end of last year (presumably when the settings were changed by Hotmail/MSN) but the OP might find it works for him. See: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hotwayd/ I don't know if there's any documentation provided. The original documentation page no longer exists. However....if it is ABSOLUTELY vital for you to have a Hotmail account, I found this on the Thunderbird FAQ site at: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#webmail "Can I access my Yahoo!, Hotmail, Lycos (Europe), MailDotCom, Gmail, and Libero WebMail account through Thunderbird? Yes. The Webmail extension integrates web site based email accounts into Thunderbird, allowing Thunderbird to download and to send emails using the web site. Some services may require a subscription for this type of access. Current information on the Webmail extension, supported services, and other add-ons for web based email can be found at the WebMail development site." I don't actually use Thunderbird myself, so I don't know if this information is outdated, but its worth a try. The real answer is to migrate from a webmail based account to a proper pop3 service. Look at: http://www.uklinux.net which offers a free account on dialup and a standard membership with a low annual fee. - -- Graham ^:y:^ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Please sign and encrypt for internet privacy iD8DBQFGCU65k/lTyNG98YcRAj6cAKCAMo7VV9cCjmMBUyLDOR7TCfwjWQCgnmxq xm0Dv78chX5L9p7dNUzeNnI= =wPYV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ KDE PIM users mailing list kdepim-users@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-users
