Hi there,

RL> I can't see one, but is there a way as in Outlook Express to download mail
RL> from a Hotmail account into The Bat?

RL> If not any plans to add it. I hate having to use Outlook express about as
RL> much as Hotmail, but sadly it's needed in addition to my normal accounts for
RL> work purposes.
As far as downloading Hotmail email with TB!, yes, you can using
Web2Pop. Setup is easy and it works great. I have been using it for a
while now.  http://www.jmasoftware.com

To clarify, OE doesn't "download" Hotmail...it "synchronizes" with
what is on the Hotmail servers. With Web2Pop, it actually DOWNLOADS it
and, TB! can be set up to "delete messages on the server" thereby
eliminating Hotmail contacting you with the annoying: "Your account size
is too large". OE just coordinates with what is on the server so it is not
actually downloading it. Another reason I couldn't stand using it
"just" to read Hotmail. lol

Just be forewarned that any HTML emails received at your Hotmail account
and downloaded using TB!/W2P will not show HTML graphic unless they are
sent WITH the email.. or something like that. (ie: HTML format email
will not show graphics). Maybe someone else here can clarify; it's been
so long since I have attempted to explain that ;)

Anyways, good luck with W2P. It is tops as far as I am concerned,
making web-based email POP3 retrievable with your favourite email
client....in my case, TB!. :)

Ciao for now,
~~~Angel
