Fastmail staff, would it be easy to implement this, or not, like Hotmail?

Can someone with a lycos account try it?

Basically if OE can access it, then it should be compatiable with HotMail. So just setup a POP link, and set the appropriate URL in the server field.

I've tried it using my loginname and loginname@lycos.co.uk and still getting and error. I made sure the "b" was there instead of the "d". Any suggestions? Maybe a special port number? The error is below:

Connection failed, no messages retrieved
Link: lycos.uk

Failed to list messages on hotmail server

Account Username = fastmailloginname
Link name = lycos.uk
Server = http://webdav.lycos.co.uk/httpmail.asp
Port = 80
PopUsername = lycosloginname
Last server message =
Extra =
