Alternatives to Outlook E for Hotmail
Just wondering if there was an email app that could handle hotmail accounts as well as pop accounts besides outlook express or outlook.

Re: Alternatives to Outlook E for Hotmail
You could try Thunderbird, I think there's a hack (also known as mod, or extension) which lets you use Hotmail.
Click here: www.mozilla.org then follow the links.

Re: Alternatives to Outlook E for Hotmail
Can I access my Netscape WebMail or Hotmail accounts through Thunderbird?
No. Netscape WebMail and Hotmail use proprietary protocols. To access WebMail directly through an e-mail client requires you to use Netscape 6+ with AIM; to do so with Hotmail requires either Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. There are also freeware applications available that will let you do the same thing, such as Hotmail Popper.
Another example is Gotmail, which is a utility to non-interactively download email from a Hotmail account. It can download messages from all folders, messages from certain folders, or new messages only. There are options to delete downloaded messages or mark them as read. Gotmail can forward messages to other email addresses or save them as local mbox-style mailboxes.
Hotmail popper is a trial version and gotmail doesnt seem to be as easy to use (couldnt find a windows version either).

Re: Alternatives to Outlook E for Hotmail
Alternatively try the old page here which is the one I used.
You do have the right Java runtime thingy don't you?
