Re: reading Hotmail in Evolution.



If no one else has, let me be the first to congratulate you on this!

It's not an easy thing to get new "foreign" scripts to work right on the
first try. Especially when they work in conjunction with other software.
This is just another piece of evidence that Linux is pushing the edge of
"joe user" usability! It's exciting to watch it grow!

BTW, this is an interesting find. I wonder if they have one that works
for Yahoo! ? (especially since they took pop retrieval of email away)

Keep it up!
