Can anyone suggest a way to access my hotmail account from within sylpheed, or suggest an alternative?

I'm new to this linux stuff and feel like a fish out of water... :;):

Thanks

Hotmail does not support using a POP mail client to read your email. They only allow you to use the webmail interface.

At least as far as I know.

Hi
There are supposed to be ways to get into your web hotmail using popmail but I can't say how. If you want free popmail access my advice is to get and use a gmail account. They are large,free, and popmail friendly.
good luck

Thanks for the advice guys.

I have come across "Hotwayd", which claims to be a POP3/SMTP to HTTPMail gateway. I have not got around to trying it yet as i am a bit busy at the mo... But will post my results when i have.

On the other hand I have just got myself a Gmail account so i might ditch Hotmail altogether... :;):

Thanks again
