Exactly like in > OutlookExpress. VERY SORRY about this!!! I just remembered having read something about pop accounts in hotmail. They meant you can read other pop3 accounts from hotmail. But you can install the port /usr/ports/mail/gotmail With this a perl script you can download from your hotmail account like this: # gotmail -u your_username -p your_password -f your_FreeBSD_username Regards Uli. *-----------------------------------* * Peter Ulrich Kruppa * * - Wuppertal - * * Germany * *-----------------------------------* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
