AppleScript to fetch Hotmail in Mail.app

hotmailJussar Interactive has created an AppleScript that will retrieve messages from a Hotmail account into Mail.app.

It does this using the open source MrPostman software to drag down the mail.

Unlike some other utilities for retrieving email from web-based services, Mail to Fetch promises to work with Intel Macs.

The script is available from MacUpdate and installation instructions from the developer’s web site .

I haven’t tested this. I’d be glad to hear if it works.

UPDATE: The author has updated this script to fix a significant problem that could occur after reoot. (28 June 2006)hotmail, webmail, pop, mail.app, apple mail, applescript, plugins, Microsoft, MSN

    I just tried it out and it works great. You have to run the AppleScript application before you try to set up the account. Also, read the developer’s instructions carefully; I had to go back and reread them a couple of times before I got it working.

    Thanks for the feedback. Into the plugins and addons list it goes then!
