Sometime on Aug 1, Sachin Naik assembled some asciibets to say:
I need your help again.I am using fetchmail to get mails from my yahoo account .Can I do the same for my hotmail account or say rediffmail account. If yes how ??
Sure it's possible. Just set the pop3/kpop/apop/imap server for hotmail/rediffmail in your fetchmailrc file. Put your username and password, and everything just like for your yahoo account.
The only catch though, is that neither of these vendors provide this service. What you can do, is, convince hotmail and rediffmail to set up pop3/kpop/apop/imap servers. Then you can download mail from there.
Alternately, use gotmail to download your hotmail. Write something similar for rediffmail.
