Hotmail Popper 2.1.0

Posted by PROGAME on 16 October 2003 - 04:55 · 24 comments & 1071 views

Hotmail Popper is a small application that allows you to check your Hotmail account e-mail from a normal POP mail client (such as Eudora). Unlike standard mail accounts which allow users to retrieve their e-mail through a POP mail client, Hotmail can normally only be checked on the web, or via Outlook Express. With Hotmail Popper, you can use your favorite POP mail client to retrieve your e-mail from your Hotmail account. In addition, Hotmail Popper allows you to send e-mails through Hotmail's service, as if it was a normal SMTP (outgoing mail) server.

Changes from version 2.0.3 to 2.1.0

Added Clear Log option to delete current contents of the log file
Fixed a sporadic crash for some user setups
Changed log file date stamps to use local time instead of UTC
Removed dependance on the Xerces library
Fixed issue with e-mail clients incorrectly re-prompting for username/password when Hotmail is down
Fixed issue where username was case-sensitive for Hotmail
Proxy password is now masked (both in the Options dialog as well as in the registry where it is saved)
The View Log choice now brings up the log file in notepad, since some systems do not have a program associated with log files
Hotmail Popper now prevents double instances of itself from running if it is launched multiple times
Fixed minor HTTP issues with some proxies

If you do plz tell me if its worth it

#2 Posted by rezza on 16 Oct 2003 - 06:46: I don't use this one, but I use a similar app on linux called hotwayd, which is great. i never have to go to that damn site anymore! (well, unless i'm checking my hotmail from another computer...) I can't imagine this program is too different.

#3 Posted by m4ch1n3g0d on 16 Oct 2003 - 07:05: I use this program and think it is great.

(5 replies) #4 Posted by PROGAME on 16 Oct 2003 - 07:37: i use it too, my incredimail can get hotmail but to use spampal i have to use this one too

it does what it's supposed to do, and it's free
so how can it not be worth it

(1 reply) #5 Posted by jmjarvis on 16 Oct 2003 - 07:51: I also use this little app too. I've installed a POP3 connector on my Exchange 2003 Server and pointed that to Hotmail Popper. This allows me to download hotmail/MSN email and forward it to Exchange accounts. I works very well.

(1 reply) #6 Posted by leugim on 16 Oct 2003 - 09:00: But it's better than web2pop (www.jmasoftware.com) that besides working with HotMail, also works with the main webmails providers?

#7 Posted by QuaKeD on 16 Oct 2003 - 12:16: I use ePrompter... allows to check Altavista, Iname, and a bunch of other accounts, plus Hotmail (of course)

#8 Posted by pressenda1844 on 16 Oct 2003 - 12:52: I use it with Thunderbird. Does what it's supposed to do, I don't even think about it!

(1 reply) #9 Posted by King_John on 16 Oct 2003 - 13:09: All you need for accessing your hotmail is the URL that you can easily get from OE.

#10 Posted by kainashi on 16 Oct 2003 - 14:01: use it with thunderbird. works awesome.

(1 reply) #11 Posted by GwaRGuITaR on 16 Oct 2003 - 14:31: I use izymail myself because that does yahoo, too.

(1 reply) #12 Posted by Digital_k on 17 Oct 2003 - 12:25: I have been using this for a while. It will work with any email program, you just use the set up examples it gives you on the site. This is a must have for anyone who uses hotmail and doesn't want OE-that would be me- and it's FREE. What else could you ask for?

#13 Posted by biko on 23 Oct 2003 - 20:59: Outlook can retreive your Hotmail. Why install some crappy software with spyware?
