I know there are a lot of commercial applications on different platform (windows, firefox, even the iPhone) that can read emails from hotmail.
I'm trying to build a similar function into my software. Where can I find sample of this code? Hotmail does not support IMAP, only POP so a lot of things are possible through the "official" means (things like getting the number of unread message etc). The code will have to simulate the http calls and scrape the html for various email information. Any ideas where I can learn about this?
