Using KMail to access web-based accounts like hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc?
Is it possible to use KMail to access web-based accounts like Hotmail, Gmail and so forth? I've been able to access the campus server email account I set up, but I want to change were it comes from. Does anyone know how I can do that?

To my knowledge, you can't. Kmail can connect to any pop server, but not with webmail servers.

There is a perl script fetchyahoo which will download Yahoo to an mbox file which Kmail supports now depending on whether you can configure the directory it downloads to the ~/Mail/ subdirectory so that Kmail will will see it is another thing. If it wants to download too ~/mbox then you may be able to symbolicly link it into the directory Kmail needs and use it that way. Also a quick look at the page says there is a gotmail for Hotmail you can get as well you may want to check into them.

For Hotmail you will need HotWayD - similar to YahooPops.
