  • A X-header added by Hotmail Popper lets you filter mail by the Hotmail folder it originated from.

Guide Review - Hotmail Popper 3.0.2 - Hotmail to POP Tool

If you are looking for a way to download the messages you receive at your Hotmail account to a desktop email program like Eudora or Pegasus Mail, Hotmail Popper is your tool.

Requiring no configuration and working as a POP proxy, Hotmail Popper makes Hotmail available via POP in a no-frills and very useful manner. You can decide whether you want to retrieve only the Inbox, all mail folders (except for mail in "Sent Mail") or even the Junk Mail folder.

Hotmail Popper also supports outgoing mail, though it does not place copies of sent messages in the Hotmail "Sent Mail" folder. Now if Hotmail Popper could act as an IMAP interface to Hotmail it would be almost perfect.
