HotApoc is a program that allows you to send and receive mail through a Hotmail account.
With HotApoc installed you can access your Hotmail account using any e-mail program such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, Incredimail or The Bat.
Mail arrives in your inbox automatically just like regular e-mail, and can be sorted into folders manually or using your e-mail program's rules.
In addition, you can use your existing mail filtering, forwarding, or vacation (out of office) notifications just like non-web based mail accounts.
- No more need to manually log in and check your Hotmail account.
- Keep all your mail in one place.
- No more lost mail due to your mailbox being full.
- Access and unlimited number of Hotmail accounts.
NOTE: For access to
Hotmail accounts with spam, hoax, virus protection and more, download
a free trial copy of Apocgraphy.
Apocgraphy includes the same access to Hotmail accounts as HotApoc.
It is therefore not recommended that you run both HotApoc and Apocgraphy
at the same time.
Hotmail
is a popular free e-mail provider.
Normally, Hotmail accounts are only accessible through a web browser however,
with HotApoc you can use any e-mail reader to both send and receive e-mail
from Hotmail.
If you do not already have
a Hotmail account, you can sign up for one at: http://www.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/register
