hi again i thought of a program simply to use to save time in checking my emails by somehow connecting to my login and downloading all the emails. this could later be expanded into using multiple accounts.
can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction to start this?
well depending upon what email provider you might be able to use an api or webservice call
for example gmail
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmail-api
if not, then you might want to simulate the login and do screen scraping on the page that is returned
thanks i use hotmail but i don't quite understand what you mean.
(I've only been using python as my first programming language for half a year now)
might want to look at integration with windows live, i'm not sure if this piece allows hotmail access, but it looks like that might have support sometime
i couldn't use that for some reason but thanks for trying
