The other option is to use Thunderbird and the webmail extension. This allows you to fetch email from different webmail services such as hotmail and yahoo, you can also send emails with hotmail too. Googlemail or Gmail can be set up to allow POP3 access which also can be used with Thunderbird.
well, you got me curious. I'm installing thunderbird. :-) kmail can't get hotmail becasue you have to pay for pop for hotmail, so this could be useful. Is there a way to get thunderbird to sent the mail to kmail? Or is this where fretchmail comes in?
