Direct Hotmail E-mail on PPC

Ok, this is what i need:

A program similar to outlook that can get Hotmail e-mails, but not by syncronising, but actually getting online, receiving them, and storing them. Any ideas?

I'm not sure if this will do exactly what you want, but have you tried Hotmail Popper?

Levon, please don't post responses that are not helpful.

I've been using onemail for the last few months and it is awesome.

It will download all your inboxes to your Ax without any issues.
It works with Hotmail, Yahoo, & AOL. (I'm gonna try it out with Gmail next).

It can also dl webpages whenever you sync.

I think its about $20 right now.

Best purchase you can make.

Try HTTPMail (http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9539), it extends Pocket Outlook and allows you to download your hotmail e-mails by connecting directly to the hotmail server (also works with msn and lycos).

Or you could just set outlook to sync to hotmail and your pda to sync w/ outlook like I do. And don't forget you can just go to hotmail.com in PIE, it works great and is formatted for the ppc when you go to it in PIE mode.

It all depends on what you need, I, personally, don't like either the outlook or the PIE solution.
Synchronizing with Outlook has the obvious drawback of needing a desktop in the first place.
The PIE approach does work when you are on the road but is annoying because you can't compose or read e-mail while offline (the time online is expensive for wireless connections) and doesn't let you download the attachments.

I came across this in another forum. Set up your hotmail account in Pocket Outlook using POP3 an enter the following in the incoming and outgoing mail server fields:

Incoming mail: pop3hot.com
Outgoing mail: mx01.hotmail.com

This does not require a third party utility to work. Thanks to BKBroiler for this info!!!

pop3hot, actually, is only free for 15 days, after that you have to buy a yearly subscription. There are two other problems with it:
1) Your password is sent in clear over the internet. With a httpmail client this is never the case, the password is never transmited to the server, the authentication is done with a challenge-response scheme in which both the client and server are able to prove they know a secret without actually communicating the secret.
2) With the POP3 interface you can't see any custom folders.

Thanks for pointing that out Adrian, I was not aware of that. One other thing I noticed was that I was unable to send messages. Again, thanks for this info.

Adrian,
Is there a way within your app to tell it not to sync the "junk email" folder?

thanks
