Thanks David, I followed your guide step by step and it worked first
time :o)
Well it works on Hoary, not Warty. (Telnet fails).

It's a bot slow (2 or 3 minutes to download an delete 50 messages) but
it works !! :o)
I hope Evolution will have this feature built-in soon, as I am sure
many people have a "clean" normal/POP account for private stuff, and a
web based account for all the rest.

I have a problem now, though ! Hotmail filters junk automatically, and
places it in a "Spam" folder, which I don't get to see because
obviously only the inbox is retrieved.
So that force me to log on the hotmail.com anyway, to check the spam
folder just in case. I will have to see if I can turn spam filtering
off....

Thanks again for the detailled procedure, you really should put it in
the Wiki ! :o)

Vince
