We need a perl module that has the exact same functions and function names for Hotmail's HTTPMail protocol (used by Outlook Express to communicate with Hotmail as found on this website: <[login to view URL]>) as does Net::POP3. We only need the following functions to work:
$pop->login()
$pop->uidl;
$pop->top()
$pop->get()
$pop->list;
$pop->delete()
$pop->quit()
The functions must return the data in the exact same format as the Net:POP3 functions do.
Here is an example:
require hotmail;
$pop = Hotmail->new(Debug => -1, EmptyTrash => 0, LeaveUnread => 1);
$pop->login($user, $pass);
if(defined($pop->login($user, $pass))) {
print "You are logged in.";
} else {
print "Invalid Hotmail username or password.";
}
One extra part is that this function should have a param "LeaveUnread" as seen above, allowing the function to either leave read messages read or mark them as unread before logoff.
Please understand this project completely before bid! Thanks!
