This perl script (gotmail.pl) is hotmail specific. It uses curl-ssl as a backend. The script does not work these days since M$ frequently starts playing around with about five sets of cookies, which need constant changing, and ofcourse the SSL layer being added. HotMail is not easy to get. If you have curl, you may succeed with other HTTP mail ser- vers. I have made headway for rediffmail using curl :-) > |Also I would like to text based messenger and chat (inc- > |luding chatroom) for yahoo.
