1) Install `fetchmail'
apt-get install fetchmail
2) Read the doc in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail
Read de manual `man fetchmail'
3) Create '~/.fetchmailrc' and set it `chmod 0600'
Now you have to put something like this in '~/.fetchmailrc' to
retrieve the hotmail mail:
# hotmail.com
poll pop3.live.com
proto pop3
port 995
user "yourem...@hotmail.com"
pass "yourpassword"
is your_home
fetchall
ssl
Well, i don't use hotmail, but.. i think will be something like
this...
