Access Hotmail and Gmail with a Local Email Client
If you have any questions or requests for tutorials, post a comment or pm me.
So what would be a advantage to doing it this way? You don’t have to open your browser and manually log in, and you can check many email address with the lick of the mouse (I check 10 at a time, imagine logging in and out 10 times)
