Re: Digest (01/25/2001 23:54) Special Issue (#2001-757)

2001-01-25 Thread Russ Moore

Greetings all,
I have a quick question for you all, hopefully a fairly simple one. I
used to use Outlook Express before coming to my senses and it had the
ability to retrieve my two Hotmail accounts offline so I didn't have
to log onto the website each time and could get all my email in one
go. Is it possible to get the bat to do this also? Or is it just a
MSoft only thing

TB! Doesn't have this facility but you can achieve it by using another
product such as web2pop (http://jmasoft.free.fr).

RM Or is it just a MSoft only thing

The ability to access Hotmail from OE is just a M$ thing.  Even full
blown Outlook doesn't have the ability.

IMHO, I would recommend moving away from Hotmail as it seems to be a
honeypot for spammers.  Why not try something such as operamail.  This
still gives you web access and the ability to access it via either
IMAP or POP.

You can also do what I do, which is to use a bigfoot account to mask
what your real email address is.

If you require any more details please, don't hesitate to contact me
(now that I have caught up with more than 1,000 TB messages I had
because I forgot to unsubscribe before going on holiday/vacation !)
