hotwayd v0.5.3 released

[dcr8520]

Ever wanted to access your hotmail[tm]  emails  without  having  to battle  with  the  web  interface?   This  is now possible using hotwayd in conjunction  with  your  favorite POP-3 implementing mail reader.  Hotwayd allows  you  to  do  this by using the HTTPMail protocol, the same protocol that Outlook Express[tm] uses, to access the hotmail servers.  Hotwayd acts as  a  proxy between your POP mail reader and the HTTPMail hotmail servers.  Simply  set  it up as a internet service on your machine or another machine on  your  network  and enjoy using your favourite mail client via the POP-3protocol to collect your hotmail emails.

u used to be able to do this with no special tricks! Hotmail would just give you the pop and smpt information. However, i dont believe they do that anymore. I could never get mine to work anyway

Rodney,

Correct.  Then they figured out that most people were simply using their POP/SMTP servers, bypassing all the advertisements which pay for the service
