I am looking for a fast way or a library to check a hotmail inbox using HTTP. Note that it must be through Http and not pop3 or Imap(that is not supported anyway). I need that because I need to connect to several accounts using Http Proxies that is not supported in pop3 sessions. Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks buddies =]
I believe it is currently not possible without simulating what the user would do within a browser. Easiest way to go is to use “VS2010 Test Professional” or “VS2010 Ultimate” abilities to record a browsing session and generate C# code which does the same! See here, it worked for me quite well out-of-the-box and generates readable code you can re-use in your applications
BWT, those seems to be the existing APIs:
– pop3.live.com, port 995 (SSL Required) for incoming mails;
– smtp.live.com, port 25 (no SSL) or 587 (SSL) for sending e-mail;
– Windows Live Messenger Contacts API (legacy) allows accessing the contacts;
– Windows Live Messenger Connect allows doing anything messenger can do;
– Windows Live Messenger Mailbox properties allow to see the number of mails and unread mails;
