Found an answer in the hotwayd man pages (quoted verbatim):



To set up the additional Hotmail folders, you add a new hotmail account for each one. For example, I have a folder called "Programming" in my Hotmail account. To set it up in Evolution, I created a new Hotmail account using the steps in the howto, but for the username I used my_username@hotmail.com/Programming and named the new account Hotmail-Programming. Next in Evolution I created a mail folder called Programming. Then I set my message filters to send all mail from that new account to the Programming folder: Edit>Message Filters; Add; for search name I typed programming (I don't think it matters what you put there); Under "find items that meet the following criteria" changed "sender" "is" to "source account" "is" using the selection arrows and chose the new account created; under "then" "move to folder" selected the Programming folder I had created in Evolution. Now when I click "Send/Receive" mail from my Hotmail Programming folder is sent to the mail folder Programming in Evolution.

Something I noticed which might not be obvious is that if you want messages you download in Evolution to stay on the Hotmail server so that you can read them later from another location (on the web, for example), you should tick the "Leave messages on server option" when setting up your Hotmail account(s) (Edit>Preferences>Accounts, select an account and click Edit, choose "Receiving Options" tab and tick or clear "Leave messages on server option" as desired). I missed this step when I first set-up Hotmail under Evolution, and when Evolution downloaded my messages it emptied my Hotmail inbox - which is not what I wanted. I had to forward all those messages back to myself in order to access them from the web again.

Tried this and not working, maybe I'm missing something. I need step by step in Evolution using Pop.

Thanks,

Great! Worked parfecto-mondo for me - there doesn't seem to be a "thanks" button on my browser right now.. hmmn. As soon as I find it, I'll give you one Indras!

Iget, when trying to send in evolution that "cant send - broken pipe" what does that mean.

GUys microsoft will be closing the access to hotmail, you'll need windows live mail, and something tells me they wont release that tool for linux.
