Yes and no. POP3 is a sert standard, and is consistent across everything. but your HTTP Mail isn't any standard at all. the mail gets displayed as a simple webpage, not as the email message, and so Plus! would need to interpret all of hte messages from the HTML(or however it is done), no matter how those programs work, THEY ARE NOT USING ANY PROTOCOL FOR MAIL TRANSFER (like POP3). THEY ARE USING HTTP. it isn't a mail transfer protocol, and therefore cannot be "checked" in the same manner.


If you want to check your Hotmail, you can get a program called hotmail popper that sits in ur system tray and gives u access to a hotmail account as POP3. u can then set Plus! to check that.

programs also exist for GMail and Yahoo.
