| 113094 | 2003-01-12 04:55:00 | There have been posts in threads about using msn messenger and using another email address as opposed to hotmail through the .net passport thing microsoft has. People also mentioned that it comes up telling you when email arrives. I have just set up a .net passport and have entered this into msn messenger. It has an option to "Go to my inbox" and will open up OE if i click on it. However i have sent test messages to my POP3 account (which is signed up to .net) and it doesn't tell me when new email arrives. How do i do this? Running version 5 of MSN messenger on WinME |

| 113095 | 2003-01-12 05:02:00 | Hi roofus. I think it may only be hotmail accounts that will come up in your messenger and alert you to new messages. I have just opened my msn passport with a paradise address and have recieved no notice of new emails, but I know there are some there via mailwasher. However, whenever I log into one of my hotmail passports the message doe's pop up advising of new email, usually theres about 73 odd spams in there as I hardly ever open them. I guess its the big microsoft tie up of applications at work. | Danger (287) | ||
| 113096 | 2003-01-12 05:31:00 | You could download the MSN Messenger API and develop it for yourself. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would help you along the way, either through programming or because they want it done too. I'd imagine, if someone decided to develop the code, that you would have to give it your POP3 server, username, and password, so it could monitor it. If you really want to download the API, go to this MSDN Download page (msdn.microsoft.com). |
