More explication about reading from hotmail.com

Thanks Ivo and Andy for the help.

I'm going to tell you more about what I'm trying to do:

I'm making a script to receive email, I have some people who would like to
take part of my testingperiod.
Some of these people have a mailaccount whit hotmail, so I have already my
first problem, I have to download there mail. With the other people there
is no problem because they provided me there pop3server.

So, I cannot take another mailaccount and I do not think there is a way to
redirct the emailadress, I now mailed to hotmail to ask if it is possible,
so I'me waiting for a answer off them.

Thanks.

Wesley

Hi Wesley,
It is very possible, even likely that HotMail does not use POP3, it could be
IMAP or a completely custom system doing god knows what. FWIW though I have
heard that HotMail uses FreeBSD and Sendmail.
Amazing eh, considering MS owns it. The talk is that when MS bought it they
tried and MS mail systems couldn't handle the load.

We run a web-based e-mail system and we use an IMAP PHP and Sendmail based
system.

If I understand your goal coorrectly and if MvCall doesn't do it and you are
on a *nix box with a shell account you could almost certainly use expect to
do this and dump the mail into a cache file for your MIVA scripts to
manipulate. Another option might be Perl and the LWP module.

Hope some of that is helpful.

Best Regards,
-Eric

Ask them to setup auto-forwarding if their mail client provides it
(i.e., Outlook and Eudora).

Have your ever added a HOTMAIL account usign your Outlook Express? try that,
as you can se the server point to a web page not a server , so, its not POP3
but who know what. I think I know were youre going, having a single site
where you can access all of your accounts right? try automating the login
process only usign MvCALL at least to those free emails providers and leave
the process work load for them opening their inbox in a frame inside your
page.
