Yes, if you use a third-party app such as Hotmail Popper. I used that
with Pegasus for quite awhile before I dropped Pegasus altogether.
Frankly, I get virtually nothing but spam at my Hotmail address, so it
makes more sense to just occasionally visit the site and wholesale
delete, but the Popper add-on worked fine.

Thanks Chuck!

I get a lot of spam with Hotmail too but I think I'll give the
Pegasus/Popper combo a try anyway - I can't filter the Hotmail stuff
enough at Hotmail, and not at all with Outlook Express, so I'm hoping
a different email client may provide more features.

I wonder if someone here could remind me of a couple of free E-mail
services which are considered good to use, instead of Hotmail.

Thanks.

It's that MSN Passport thing I'm not sure of. ;o/ Otherwise Hotmail is
quite good isn't it ? Must just be me. Yahoo was recommended by a
friend who says it's better than Hotmail, not tried it yet as my only
use for web email so far has been to redirect junk mail.

I'm very happy with MyRealBox: http://www.myrealbox.com

Ditto. But one drawback that someone pointed out, recently: if you're
using the web interface, there's no quoting for replies -- or at least
he and I can't find a way to enable it. This doesn't bother me, because
I hate webmail and thus POP my MyRealBox and Yahoo mailboxes. But if
one plans to use that interface, it's a negative. And a shame, too --
because the rest of the web interface is very nice: clean, crisp, no
ads, configurable, featureful, etc.

Having never used the web interface, I've never run into the
problem. If I wanted to use web intefaces, I wouldn't have
spent all this time and effort finding a mail client that I
like.
