Hotmail!

[amiga2000]

There was a program on Amiga Sourceforge that is described as being able to retrieve Hotmail through YAM via a proxy. I was not able to get it to work myself, although someone described it on amiga.org as being very simple to install...

hotway v0.51: Hotmail POP3 gateway (891047 Bytes)

If you look at:

http://hotwayd.sourceforge.net

it lists YAM as one of the supported mail programs, and the actual support site can be found at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hotwayd/

If someone can explain to me how to get it to work, I would appreciate it too.

yay - I got it to work --- I can access Hotmail via Simplemail on my Amiga. Brilliant.

(KennyR from amiga.org actually explained it to me).

I was just wondering - I really doubt it, but is it possible also to SEND outgoing emails from your hotmail account via Hotway?

Re: Yahoo supporting pop3 mail - I think it was available free a while back, but they made it a pay option (~$20/yr)... If you are talking about retrieving yahoo email via your pop3 email program.

If you are talking about retrieving pop mail via yahoo's web interface, that is available for free, and also available from hotmail as well (and most other webmail services).
