I use a program called "webmail retriever"
It works great for sending and downloading mail using my hotmail account.
Check it out at: www.Apocgraphy.com/WebmailRetrieverRed/

Hi Leo,

OK, I understand what you said about Hotmail & Yahoo mails getting downloaded using Outlook Express. What about other free e-mails in the www ? Can I use OE to download them too ? Or do I need a site-specific software (i.e. YahooPops, HotPops, etc.). The site I'm talking about is www.30gigs.com. Help me out, will ya ?

Tks from Mary.

It's all specific to the service in question.

YOU CAN BUT, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO ?
I THINK WEBMAIL IS AWESOME.

It is. Until you lose it.

try eprompter www.eprompter.com supports hotmail, yahoo, gmail, tons and tons of webmails. it's text only no pictures. but it's script and virus safe. I use it to view my messages safely before I risk infection.

if you want to access web based mail, using a free web mail interface to POP3 program, on any platfor just use mr postman - http://mrpostman.sourceforge.net/
