Yeah mate, use Winsock ;) This is cool 
though man! Not like that phoney other 
one which actually stole ya p/w's! 
Thanx for this man!!! If you are having 
trouble registering winsock, or dont 
even have the silly thing lol, search 
PSC for "Register winsock.ocx and 
inet.ocx" or "Andrew Armstrong". Its my 
post, I have made a proggie to install 
winsock and the inet controls easy! W/o 
that licensing error :(   -   Once 
again, great!!!

This is nice code. But can you this 
from the code when it says new message 
can you click on a command button and 
open your mail box.

yeah actually, i was stumped like you 
guys, but theres a way that i easily 
found all these commands out on my 
own. 
and i'm currently expanding this 
program to actually check your 
messages, and alert you when u have 
new 
ones, etc... now im not going to 
write 
any tutorials here or anything, 
but if 
u want me to explain these 
commands to 
you or how i got them, 
i'd be happy to 
help you out. just 
email me, i'll get back to you as soon 
as i can.

i think that microsft changed the way 
of loging in hotmail,because when i 
tried to login only what they do they 
cloed the connection between me and the 
isp (the dial up networking,it is not a 
neutral disconiction or no errors) so 
if it works in your computer then tell 
me because i'm affraid to test it again 
since they can destroy my computer 
(they will think i'm a hacker 
!!!microsoft!!!),thanks for your nice 
code

Thank you to everyone who tried my 
program...
if anyone can help out 
someone who is having trouble here, 
PLEASE do so...
Because I received a 
great number of emails telling me to 
create a way to read your new messages, 
I have just started expanding the 
program to do so. I expect it to be up 
before too long, so keep checking back. 
Also, if you have any suggestions as 
to 
other features that should be 
added, please let me know. I'm still 
open to 
suggestions...
Thanks,
-Polar J-

This thing is awsome! I do have one 
problem though, one some hotmail 
addresses it takes forever for it to 
read the new messages. If it reads them 
at all. And one others it reads them 
fine and lists if you have new mail or 
not. Do you have that problem or is it 
just me? And how can you or I fix it?

Great! I had already outlook express

now, i have a quickly mail-check that

It opened fine, I ran it, no errors, I 
entered my user information and clicked 
the button.
Step 1, no errors
Step 2, 
seemed fine
Step 3, Its working 
!
Step 4, I've been looking for a 
program like this
Step 5, Its taking 
its time, a long time, its 
stopped.
Keeps stoping on step 5, 
not freezing or crashing, just 
stopping.
Anybody know why ?

Great! But why not use MSN messenger 
(from microsoft) instead, it check your 
hotmail account and it is an Instant 
Messenger, just like ICQ !

Hmmm  - I have VB5 Prof SP2, what about 
you?
I am working on a version of 
this which uses Winsock. I am having a 
problem with the cookies at the moment 
as Winsock is being stvpid (it wouldn't 
let me spell it with a u) and receiving 
them all as one message !
Will keep 
you posted of my progress.

I see everyone on here asking for the 
code to be better - make it read and 
reply e-mail .. use basic SMTP and do 
it yourself think..use brains..or are 
you people here to leech off other 
codes? Some of you I looked up and 
found nothing, same with me you won't 
find nothing based on the fact that my 
buddy made a personal webserver. if you 
check it out now and match the source 
codes almost 8/10 webservers on this 
website are ripped from his and he 
didn't want to hand out the source. I'm 
just saying this for original authors 
out there..watch your stuff. If it's 
good enough someone can very easily 
take it, remodel it and sell!

This is cool. Try putting a remember 
passwrod and username checkbox and get 
the button to save the username / 
password in the registry. Then, in 
Form_Load, get it to load the registry 
variables for the checkbox. That way we 
won't have to enter our username and 
password everytime :)

I've managed to get the Hotmail checker 
to display your inbox messages as well 
as messages in any other folder you 
have.  Plus, it can read the message 
bodies, handle multiple pages of 
message headers, and delete messages.  
I plan on getting it to send messages 
and move messages to other folders 
next.  The code I downloaded didn't 
work though.  After step five, once you 
come across a </html> tag, it should 
disconnect and then send the next 
command.  That made it work.  Sometimes 
though, MS changes the cookies a bit.

This is sweet man, I think I had the 
same problem as a couple of the 
previous people. I was stepping through 
your program and it just stopped. It 
ran fine when I used the .exe file but 
I couldn't step through it.
btw 
could someone explain to me how winsock 
works??

Thanks for the lovely site that gives 
you how to access the Hotmail account 
through socket programming..This will 
realy help people like me who are 
searching for IT projects..
Bill 
I'm doing this IT degree & I have to 
submit a project proposal for my final 
year.
Well I will be basing my 
project in VB since its the easiest 
tool to use. Therefore I will be most 
grateful if you can give me a helping 
hand in finding a project. 
Also 
when I tried the code regarding the 
Hotmail account it stopped at step 5. 
Can you tell me how I can get it to 
work & also how I can access the email 
data through socket programming cos I'm 
not fermiliar with socket programming.
