HELP PLEASE ! How to fetch mails from HOTMAIL.COM with GNUS/webmail & W3 ?

[Michael Huehne <mhuehne@mac.com>]

Hello Gnus Team and Users,

EXCUSES:----------------------

Please excuse me, when I am sending this mail to the wrong group.
I am uncertain if webmail.el's Hotmail reading capabilities are broken,
or I am to stupid to configure it correctly.



THANKS:-------------------------

Since many years I am using Gnus as the best portable mail and new client 
I can imagine.
Reading MS-Exchange Mails would be paramount ... :-)



THE PROBLEM:---------------------

However, I am suffering from a serious problem. Microsoft's Hotmail design 
team tends to change their layout once in a while. After the last change a 
couple of months ago Gnus-5.8.8 and w3-4.0pre.46 with one-line-cookie patch 
applied stopped working for me. Before, it worked like a charm, now hotmail 
is running full and over 100 mails waiting to be uploaded.

I was hoping that w3-4.0pre.47 and the latest Oort-Gnus-v0.04 CVS snap shop 
from yesterday might cure my pain. But no improvement, the same message as 
before occured.

In worse case: Any other way / tip (even tricky) to do one final mail merge 
between GNUS and HOTMAIL would be appreciated. How can point me to a 
possible solution ?
