Hi dave,

you mean Outlook.com is now the rebranded Hotmail

But instead of using CRON how come you dont just leave KMAIL running if you 
leave your pc on 24/7? I dont, at night mine goes into stanby and with me 
being on Sat. Dish I disconnect kubuntu I dont need any runaway data useage 
while im not on the pc. Shoot, I pay enough as is for it lol.
