Email

It's incredibly frustrating for those of us who use Microsoft's webmail applications under Linux.  To begin with, when Microsoft started their Live Mail application it only supported Internet Explorer, so no Linux.  Secondly, Hotmail and Live Mail do not allow users to connect to the mail server via POP or SMTP so to check your email you need to manually pull up a browser to see if you've received any mail.  In the following tutorial I explain how to download your Hotmail or Live Mail emails using Ubuntu 8.10, Evolution, and applications from the repositories.
