Jezza Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Try Mr Postman: Mr Postman It's a Java program so it should work just as well on Linux. You will probably need to not use the standard POP or SMTP ports unless you are prepared to run the program as root. Then just setup Thuderbird to check the ports you specify in Mr.P at server localhost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 IIRC hotmail doesn't support pop or imap so you cannot use any email client to access it (with probable exception of outlook or outlook express plugins). So the only way to access hotmail is via the web. Of course, I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Postman is a java applet which checks your hotmail and allowe Tunderbird to download it via the java applet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
