Are there any mail programs with MSN Hotmail support?
As I have found out my default mail app (Mozilla Thunderbird) doesn't seem to support MSN Hotmail.
I have found out the following: - It uses HTTPMail. - It uses Port 0 (Strange...) - Doesn't use SSL - The address for the service is: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp (Don't click on this address as it's for mail use for the HTTPMail protocol) Anybody know a mail app that supports HTTPMail or MSN Hotmail? manhinli |
You need to install a program called hotwayd (or alternatively, hotpops). Microsoft use their own proprietary protocols and you need to install a mail server program between your client and MSN to enable the client to work.

the best is to get rid of your hotmail (it's TOO bad*!!) and use a better mailbox...
*no securuty, no confidentiality, no stability, no standard protocols, etc..) |
I use gotmail to fetch mail from the hotmail server and either use my ISP POP account to send, or send using sendmail
