BCB5 - mail from HTTP server
I'm using Borland C++ Builder 5 and have a good working e-mail retrieval system, but it will only download POP3 mail.
I need to be able to download mail from HTTP servers, such as hotmail.com and yahoo.com. I have no knowledge on how to go about doing this. I would be willing to increase the points, (as much as double) to anyone who could tell me how.

You were told how yahoo handles POP3, I haven't read that that shoul dbe impossible. With the changed policies of Yahoo it might not be that easy anymore.
The thread about hotmail said POP3 is not possible, but that is an answer to your question! This answer shoul dbe accepted.
For these reasons I posted my recommendations. A delete is certainly NOT ok.
