Gotmail
Gotmail is a utility to non-interactively download email from a Hotmail account. It can download messages from all folders, messages from certain folders, or new messages only. There are options to delete downloaded messages or mark them as read. Gotmail can forward messages to other email addresses or save them as local mbox-style mailboxes.

Gotmail 0.8.0 on SourceForge.net
Since savannah is still in a coma, I've put gotmail development on SourceForge.net
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gotmail/
The 0.8.0 beta is available there.
So far, the reports have been good running against the 'new' hotmail.com.
Re: Great software but.....
Hi all,
My name is John Fruetel and Paul has turned over gotmail development to me.
I have a working version of gotmail, but unfortunately, Savannah has been knocked out for a while. I've registered a 'mirror' site for gotmail on SourceForge, but it's not ready to go yet.
So, I suppose, if you guys want to try my 'beta' version for the new hotmail, send some email to jfruetel@hotmail.com and I'll email a copy to you.
Thanks!

Thanks Mr. Cannon! I saw what Hotmail has done to their mail interface, looks like it will be quite an undertaking to get gotmail up to speed.
Thanks for the ingenious perl script, after a year of use I'm still amazed at how well it did what it does.. here's hoping you can make time to get it working again.
If you could use help from a perl novice, maybe menial stuff like changing hotmail preferences a few dozen times and grabbing some strings or whatever, let us know how, it would be nice to give back a little.
