In case anyone hasn't seen yet, there's bad news for the HttpMailProxy users with Hotmail accounts. Apparently, Microsoft is turning off access to Hotmail via the WebDAV protocol (see http://www.betadaily.com/tag/deltasynch/\) which is used by HttpMailProxy, Outlook Express and the Thunderbird WebMail extension (although I think this can also 'screen scrape' the HTML interface), among others. They've been threatening to do it for a while, but have apparently only gotten around to it now.

Details of the replacement DeltaSynch protocol for Hotmail are unfortunately a bit thin on the ground...
