Hey, is it possible to check my hotmail account with the MailChecker docklet?

November 11, 2003 3:28 PM from

I was just wondering. I havent been able to get mine to do it yet, but I'm probably doing something wrong. Does anyone know how to do this, or even know if its possible?

Currently, the mailchecker docklet can't check hotmail accounts, but I (or someone else) will create a plugin for it

Do a search for HotmailPopper (I think that's the right name

), then you can setup a standard IP to check, I use it for getting my Hotmail inside Thunderbird and haven't had any problems.

Edit: In fact, here's the link to it ... http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/

Well, that sorta works for what I want. That actually works with the MailChecker docklet too, which is cool. I'd like to get a program that tells me "1 new Message" or whatever. That HotmailPopper I can only get to tell me how many emails are in my inbox.

So we're closer, but not quite there. Thanks for the link!

Spamkiller...

It does all email server types...

and will notify you of new emails, killed emails with the option of recovering them and such, for hotmail or any of the webmail services...

I would like to be able to use a Docklet of some sort just so I dont have to have any other progs running at the time. Yeah I know theres tons of prgrams out there that will check the hotmail account, but I would like to have one in my ObjectDock.
