Since hotmail is web-based mail (AFAIK they don't offer users the ability to download mail using the POP3 mail program). If you have access to your hotmail through POP3 then this would work, without it- then Mozila as a web-browser is your friend. I seem to remember that recent versions of Outlook are able to talk to hotmail, and download mail into Outlook (and of course, automatically open worm infected e-mail..) A perl script named gotmail (no url handy, google) is around which 'scrapes' the hotmail site and then forwards the messages to a local mailbox, and it could then be used with Evolution. The drawback though, is that it's not friendly for a newbie. -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx pgp http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=adam%40dynamicinteraction.co.uk
