Hotmail Checking by mwe99 on 07-08-2005 at 08:03 PM

Is there like a Hotmail Notifier when you get a new email?

Not the one on MSN Messenger though?

no, hotmail doesn't support pop3 so u can't check, unless u upgrade to premium

Well i just searched google and found a few.


One is at http://www.poptray.org/

and you need the hotmail plugin from http://www.poptray.org/plugins.php


This one also looks quite good http://www.pcsoftland.com/internet/email-tools-ut...Email-Notifier.htm

not POP3.

just a general notifier, like the gmail one, but an MSN Hotmail one,

i've tried a different one that was somehow using hotmail pop3 but didn't work, i assumed that they were all like that 8-)


RE: Hotmail Checking by Zephyr on 07-08-2005 at 08:13 PM

You just need one that checks web-based hotmail so pop3 isn't needed.

The second one i posted above is really good, i just tried it out and the popups work fine. Only problem is it is a 30-day trial.

well msn explorer comes with most windows xp [pro I believe] and it doesnt have a notfier and you must be logged in to msn to use it anyway
