Hi TBUDL-members,
In my desperate attempts to find a way to receive and send mail
through my Hotmail accounts using TB!, I downloaded Cyber-Info Email
Notify 4. Instead of installing it right away, I read the readme.txt
and here is what I found:

USING
In POP3 server options, input your POP3 server, username and password.
E.g.
Description : Peter's Account
POP3 server name : mail.anymail.com {your POP3 server}, or
mail.hotmail.com (for Hotmail account)
mail.yahoo.com (for Yahoo Mail account)
mail.excite.com (for Excite Mail account)
inbox.excite.com (for Excite Inbox account)
POP3 username : peter {the name before @ of your email address
suppose the email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]}
password : XXXXX {password of your email account}
That's it !
Of course you need to input your SMTP mail server. Sometimes, it may be
the same as your POP3 server. Also input your return address :
e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Special instruction for WEB-POP mail gateway :
*********************************************************
If you want to get mail from Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Excite Mail by using your
own email client program, you should do the following :
1. Add account as above.
2. Select Web-POP gateway port in Webmail option.
(default is 110, change to other e.g. 888, if other program already used it)
3. Inside your email client program,
add a POP3 server : 127.0.0.1 (port should be the same in 2)
add a user name : xxxxx#hotmail (Hotmail)
xxxxx#yahoo (Yahoo)
xxxxx#excite (Excite Mail)
xxxxx#iexcite (Excite Inbox)
enter the password for that account.
Example : Suppose your account in Yahoo is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then you should add a POP3 server : 127.0.0.1 with user name
peter#yahoo

Especially the last part, about WEB-POP mail gateway, seems
interesting. It looks like I do not need the downloaded program, it
seems that having *any* mail client should be sufficient. I tried to
do as described though, but it didn't work out.
Is there anybody who can achieve something (i.e. use Hotmail with TB!)
with the quoted text above? Please let me know.
NOTE: I know there are other accounts that work without problems, for
instance Yahoo, I just want to get Hotmail working.

Thanks in advance
