Just follow the online documentation for > configuring either a POP or IMAP account. Nope! HotMail uses some HTTP stuff only... I've looked a bit in how Outlook Express is able to retrieve hotmail mail and got not much smarter after that :-) I think you should check out /usr/ports/mail/gotmail which is a perl script that should be able to retrieve HotMail mail into a local mbox and then configure Evolution to use that local mbox for your hotmail. Maybe fix a cron script that does it for you as often as you like. I dont use either evolution nor gotmail, so I might not be a good help. -- Anders Andersson UNIX, Networking and Security consultant +46 (0)705 87 53 35 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
