1) Overview

This is a simple program that check your Hotmail (http://www.hotmail.com) account for new mail. I wrote this application for my own use, and it runs very well in my 486 DX2 66Mhz with Dial-Up connection of Windows 95!

The program just send the data Hotmail wants: name, password, type of frames etc, and get the response page with no picture downloading (FASSST), this page has the number of new e-mails in the InBox!

New feature: an option to retrieve the headers of the messages is implemented, now you can see the sender, date and size of the new e-mails!

In the future the option to delete messages will be added, sound support and a button do direct access Hotmail's site!

No browser load... check Hotmail Fast... Use HotNoti!
