Description-en: utility to download email from a Hotmail or MSN account
Gotmail fetches mail out of a Hotmail or MSN account, using the
web interface as though through a browser. It works somewhat like
fetchmail, and lets you do spiffy things like detecting and deleting
spam (without even downloading the whole thing!) and forwarding mail,
and storing it in a local mailbox.
.
Although the team behind Gotmail tries to keep it working, every few
months Hotmail makes changes which break this until they have time to
fix it. Have a backup plan for email access in case that happens.
