I have tried 4 times to get into my hotmail while using mozilla, but everytime it fails. Is there a workaround for this? I think it fails because of the .net login...
:(

BB - I don't have a Hotmail account, however I do have a Yahoo emal account. I use YahooPOPs to access that email. By doing this the Yahoo mail accounts is just another mail account, inside Mozilla messenger.

There is a program called Hotmail Popper which is susposed to do the same thing. Here is link -

I can check it via outlook. I was wondering if you could check it from within Mozilla.
http://www.hotmail.com

I can check yahoo mail from within the mozilla browser without fail. Hotmail on the other hand uses the .net login.. I just wished I could check it through mozilla, as I love the tabs, an have 5 -10 tabs open which makes surfing faster.

Nothing like the trust control T to open a tab!
:D

THanks for the hotmail popper, I know I can put that to good use.

Do you know about EPrompter? It picks up all mail incl. yahoo and hotmail - and you can reply with it too. It uses half the memory as well.

installed, checking messages now, Thanks Lynch.
:D

It was a snap to install, very small download, easy to setup, no nags except that it asked about installing the eprompter screensaver.. which if you don't click to do so it doesn't install :D

Very nice!

5 out of 5!
