Comment 44 for bug 327773

i think this proggie might be usefull

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hotwayd/
don't know if it should really be implented into mozilla though

from their site:
'Ever wanted to access your hotmail emails using linux (or another unix variant)
without having to go through the web interface? Well now it is possible using
your favourite standard-POP implementing mail reader. Hotwayd uses the same
protocol that Outlook Express uses to access the hotmail servers, HTTPMail.
Hotwayd acts as a proxy between your POP mail reader and the HTTPMail hotmail
servers. Simply set it up as a service on your machine or another machine on
your network and enjoy using POP to collect your hotmail emails.

Included in this file are some tips getting particular configurations working.
If your configuration is not listed here then feel free to mail me with
instructions and I will add them to the list.'
