HTTPMail

What is it?

This project is now defunct

HTTPMail is a project to document the HTTPMail protocol used for Hotmail. It also aims to allow other mail clients to use Hotmail. The first way this is done is with an HTTPMail/POP3 proxy server written in Perl. You can connect to the proxy server with POP3 and check your Hotmail account. There are also versions for Ruby (the one I personally use, therefore the one most up to date), a start of a JavaMail provider, and a VB control that was donated to me.
