Here's what you need to do:

1) Sign up for runbox (don't forget to pay)
2) Sign up for fastmail (don't forget to pay)
3) Set up fastmail to fetch mail from your hotmail account
4) Set up runbox to fetch mail from your fastmail account (using POP) OR forward all fastmail messages to you runbox account.

That's something we don't have yet, but who knows; we may add it down the line...

Hpaq, If you got Runbox, why do you need hotmail?

hpaq · 13 Mar 2002, 03:40 AM

so i can access my hotmail account which is from the days before runbox but which i must keep active so i can get access to certain info which i receive from mailing lists (and no its not -that- easy to get everyone to use the new address as i don't want that)

hpaq · 13 Mar 2002, 03:43 AM

and anyway if fastmail can do it why can't we?

kirill · 13 Mar 2002, 05:09 AM

We can. My first post was meant like a joke for those who didn't understand that.

Runbox is for normal e-mail, hotmail is for sing-ups and implicitly for gathering the spam

.... and then you'll have to get a hotmail for your hotmail

just kidding, I understand.

hpaq: This would be very cool to have; it was worked on once actually, but we shelved it in order to free up time for other things. Maybe it could be part of the next version of RMM? Kirill?

It is times like this that I would hate being Geir or km

Liz · 17 Mar 2002, 09:29 AM

Or Liz?

hpaq: The specs for the next "version" is just starting to take form, hence we haven't decided what to include yet. Maybe we could put a popup poll on our website? Or mail it to all the users?

Liz, how could I have forgotten you?

You've got to be the best support person I ever seen.

BTW, why not set up a poll at this forum?
