asked on

Can my VB app monitor my Hotmail for specific messages?

I want to write an app that will log into my hotmail and search the inbox screen for an email with "re: work" in it.

Can this be done?

Acceptable answers would be something like...

"yes, study this (link), and that (link)"

or

"no, go get a beer and forget about this project." ;)

something to get me going would be appreciated.

Thank you.

but not sure if this points to the same file as the one in one of the links provided

OK , Winsock sounds like a good route.

Can I send my FORM post variables to login, then search the resulting HTML for a particular phrase?

Again, links to tutorials would be great.

And hey Rockiroads, that link you provided is so useful! Lots of good stuff there.
