The Amiga supports Hotmail via IBrowse.  See our review of IBrowse 2.3; http://www.swaug.org.uk/ibrowse

It's not just IE that can access Hotmail

[Karlos]

He he but only IE users that would want too ;-)

Ok, this is for the benefit of all you folks that had problems with hotwayd. It is a inetd daemon, which means you don't run it directly - it is run via your TCP/IP stack and sets up an emulated mail server. So what you're doing really is collecting mail from your own system, and hotwayd will intercept this and go fetch your hotmail. It sounds complicated but it isn't - in other words, *any* pop mailer can collect hotmail and you don't need to go into Microsoft's ad-ridden site.

The package is here. Read the README file to see how to install it for your TCP/IP stack. It's really not so hard.

Its very easy to set-up just follow @dcr8520 thread above..

The only thing you have to check is where you put hotwayd, mines in the root of miami directory.


Anyone got any help for me in removing the log window when using Miami.

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.

Well I got it free :-)

This is to enable retrieving via POP3 in web-browsers and/or standalone e-mail clients. You just have to sign up for some "promotional email", yet even then you can choose "only send me the categories below", and don't choose any.

When I set it up (about 3 weeks ago) I admit I used mail2web to test it, but I just added an account to Opera 7.03's mail client and it picked my mail up fine.

Have to say, this was from the UK though?

Turn off logging or direct to >NIL: or a file. Unfortunately there's no way to stop hotwayd outputting this stuff.

[MikeB]

thanks, ive ended up removing the logging and use syslog.library.

removes the output completely.

cheers

I could have sworn I had put a constructive comment in this thread already. Oh well here goes....Hotmail sucks!

Oh so true.  I had started a new account several months ago but had never used it or gave out the address.  One week later when I signed in I had spam  :-x   Almost one hundred messages of it.  It is my opinion that the only reason Microsoft has Hotmail is to sell the addresses thus making more money.

Never again will I use hotmail.
