HOTMAIL... ?

Wednesday, June 1, 2005 by Patch_G | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Is there anyway of having a docklet or icon on the OD for Hotmail?? It seems most you cats use the mozilla or Outlook e-mail services...but ive been hotmailed up for too long to change. So if there is a way please let me know,
Thanks.

How do you acces your Hotmail? I have HM but it doesn't have it's own mail program - I either have to use a browser or a mail program.

I use Incredimail as my default which sends/receives through hotmail.

erm... i go through the small link on messenger...or when you sign in it gives you the opotunity to click the window that appears saying how many new mails you have. I also have a shortcut in the start menu but if i could have it in the OD it would be prefered.
Does this answer your question? Im not sure about mail programmes, ive just always used HM and recently got into this customization thing and wanted a hotmail ling for the OD. Maybe i should try this Firefox Thunderbird that seems to be popular, is that similar to Incredimail??

Possibly - haven't tried it even though I us FireFox.

If it is just a mail program (client? - terminology throws me) then all you have to do is configure your hotmail account.

I just use IncrMail for the skins, backgrounds,3D effects (eye candy stuff).

Speaking of mail client I use Outlook Express for one of my Hotmail accounts and I let Trillian alert me when I get a email from my other Hotmail account. I don't use Thunderbird because it is not capable of checking hotmail. I don't use Incredimail because I have read many threads here on WC that Incredimail has spyware in it.
