Using FastMail for Hotmail message retrieval
Authored by: sjk on Jun 18, '06 12:03:56PM

I've been satisfied using a FastMail account for a few years to fetch messages from my ancient Hotmail account at regular intervals. Then I use Mail to access the FM IMAP mailbox where they're stored, or FM's webmail interface. It's been a transparent solution since FM staff has always handled issues that infrequently crop up with message retrieval from Hotmail without my intervention. Occasionally I've gotten a retrieval warning message but it's been so long since that's happened I can't even remember when it was.

This can be done with a free FastMail Guest account, but the modest one-time fee for a Member account is a great value and can be thought of as a contribution towards supporting their service.
