I know -without having tried it- there is a separate software which specifically intends to address those webmails-not-providing-POP like Hotmail, to turn them into a local POP on your mac. On they site they have myriads of webmail-specific "plugins", of which Hotmail. I lazily intended to test it with Google mail this week-end... If you get it to work before, do tell me! I discovered it while looking for RSS aggregators, and FWIW, here is the summary I recently posted on comp.sys.mac.apps, buried among some 50 other RSS contenders. The summary is describing its RSS functions, but well, at least you have the url ;-) Hervé MacFreePOPs http://www.e-link.it/macfreepops/ ; see also the freePOPs project http://freepops.sourceforge.net/en/ v. 1.5 (oct2004) price: free (accepts donations) developer pedigree: formats: all RSS versions + RDF et atom; handles passwords (no link to keychain) can save posts: yes? also shows html e. g. with safari toolbox: no user interface specificities: MacFreePOPs is quite a specific app, with initialy no relation to RSS : its aim is to "bring webmails back to POP format" (allowing your mailer to e. g. connect to Googlemail...). A very large number of webmailers is supported, via dedicated plugins (one per server, list is impressive). It happens one plugin has been developped to import RSS feeds into a mailbox. You then get a series of RSS-link-specific mailboxes, that of course you can archive etc. interfaces w/ other hardwares: - filters (ads blocking / keywords matching): no / no (but your mail application could do this) searches (a given word): no import/export: no/yes, to mailbox available in other languages: no (not really needed once set) -- remove ".listes" and add a dot after fh please enlevez ".listes" et ajoutez un point après fh
