Program That Reads All The Messages From A Hotmail

[kvarnerexpress 0]

I'm trying to write a program that reads all the messages from a Hotmail account, and then fowards to specific email accounts according to their "Subject". For exmaple the program will access my Hotmail account, read all the messages I have, and then forward the messages with the subject "billing support" to billing@mydomain.com or "technical support" to tech@mydomain.com.The last part of the program will be the easiest, but I'm stuck with the first part. How can I read/view email messages from my Hotmail or Yahoo account in a Visual Basic 6 appilcation??Thanks in advancekvarnerexpress

It is possible to write a program that reads e-mail from hotmail since hotmail support pop3. Yahoo have but you must subscribe first. about coding well, can't help you but you can look for code from the website, there are lots of free source code in the internet wherein you can study the structure of the program.

Well first of all hotmail does'nt support POP3, if you setup a hotmail account in OE then you'll see that it will set itself as http account and not as POP3.

Secondly it is not required to subscribe for the POP3 access in Yahoo...why pay for anything when you can get it for free?

 

Let me tell you how you can access yahoo via OE or infact any email client!

 

You'll have to use a program which is called Yahoo POPS! and you'll be able to access email of yahoo account in any of the mail client which you use.

thats a interesting hacking tool and it is no matter how you word it, going to try it out see how it all works out with me.but yeah your program would have to have network access to the yahoo mail or hotmail account to work unless im wrong about that, so look around and see what you find who knows someone might have already done it already.

I need to write somthing like that a while ago but since then my computer got formatted so I dont have any example soorce but they way I lerned that kind of stuff was going on to pscode.com and searching under Visual Basic for "E-mail Checker" There is a lot of example there, some dont work and others do. I would recommend pscode.com for writting any kind of applications.
