Hotmailbenutzung mit Evolution

Letztens hab ich mich gefragt, wie es möglich ist, mit Evolution die e-Mails meines Hotmailkontos abzurufen.
Hier habe ich eine gute Anleitung gefunden(auf englisch!)

---

First, make sure your system is up to date. Open up a terminal and type:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Now, install the inet daemon

Code:

sudo apt-get install inetutils-inetd

This takes care of all of our dependencies. Now on to the good stuff…

Code:

sudo apt-get install hotway hotsmtp

This will install hotway, which allows you to read hotmail
e-mails by simulating a POP3 server, and hotsmtpd, which allows you to
send e-mail through hotmail using SMTP. By default, however, only
hotway gets installed properly to your inet daemon, so let’s fix this.

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/inetd.conf

Look for a line like this:

Code:

pop3		stream	tcp	nowait	nobody	/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotwayd

By default, hotway leaves a copy of each message it downloads
on the server. I prefer it this way, so I can read my e-mail at other
locations, but if you don’t feel like filling up your hotmail box,
change the line to add „-r“ to the end, like this:

Code:

pop3		stream	tcp	nowait	nobody	/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotwayd -r

And we also need to add a line to get hotsmtpd working, just paste this at the bottom:

Code:

2500		stream	tcp	nowait	nobody	/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotsmtpd

This will set the inet daemon to listen to incoming calls on
port 2500, and forward the connection to the hotsmtp daemon. Now, save
your file, exit gedit, and restart your inetd server:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart

If everything is working properly, you’ll see this pop up on your screen:

Code:

* Restarting internet superserver inetd                            [ ok ]

Now, close out of your terminal and start up Evolution. It may
pop up the first-time use wizard, you can use that if you like. Or, you
may have to go to Edit->Preferences and hit the Mail Accounts button
on the left. However you choose to do it, here’s your information:

Email Address: xxx@hotmail.com (fill in your normal e-mail address that you use to login to hotmail)

Receive Server type: POP

Server: 127.0.0.1

Username: xxx@hotmail.com (same as above)

Security: No encryption

Authentication type: Password

(Remember password checkbox is up to you)

Send Server type: SMTP

Server: 127.0.0.1:2500

[X] Server requires authentication (check this box)

Use Secure Connection: No encryption

Authentication Type: PLAIN

Username: xxx@hotmail.com (same as above)

(Optional Remember password checkbox)
