Hotmail Popper

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.

I'd probably just configure Outlook 2003 to receive my
Hotmail if I were bothered about it.

virus and evil code

bah...

it's crazy to pay for a web browser. and i'll be damned if
i'm gonna surf with a browser that has banner ads built into
it's menu bar... that's just rediculous. and, besides, i
can't see any advantage that opera has over
firebird/mozilla... ok, sweet! i can zoom in and out on a
webpage, that should be good for novelty once or twice, but
it hardly justifies spending money on it.

and, you could of course steal the full version of opera...
but, why? it's not really any better than the free
alternatives.

but, of course, to each his own. at least we all make it
onto the webernet somehow, right?

who said anything about paying for it?
know what I mean :)

besides, I'd rather pay for a stable and secure browser,
rather than to use a free, unsecure and highly unstable
browser.. Simple logic.

web based mail sucks balls.

the only advantage is in a library or on campus, where you
can check it at multiple locations without having each
computer have grabbed different bactches of incoming mail

Banner? where? hehe :)

And, there are hardly any security issues associated with
Opera, as opposed to Internet Explorer, where a new risk is
discovered every day, in which they have to release a patch
to fix it..

In my time of using Opera, I have only seen two critical
security issues ever.

But I know it's hard to change from one application to
another, simply because your more comfortable with what
you're already used to.

yes, that's true, and that's why this application is so
neat.
