POP3, Auto Forward for Hotmail and Windows Live Mail

Read Hotmail in Yahoo or GMailDo you want to download Hotmail emails or Windows Live Mail messages to Outlook or Thunderbird ? Or looking for workarounds to forward incoming Hotmail messages to Yahoo! or GMail account ?

It's now possible to move your Hotmail to other places via GetMail for Hotmail, a free tool that installs as a Windows service. It will forward your Hotmail emails to any other email address of your choice.

To read Hotmail in BlackBerry or Outlook Express, first forward the emails to some GMail account using Getmail. Now configure the GMail POP3 feature and read these forwarded emails in any client that supports POP access.

Even if you don't intend to read Hotmail inside GMail or Yahoo! Mail, GetMail can be used to make backup copies of your existing Hotmail email messages.

Like other POP3 clients, you can instruct GetMail to delete Hotmail emails after forwarding or just mark the forwarded messages as read or leave them untouched.

And when used in conjunction with FreePOPS, GetMail for Hotmail can be used to forward mails from most web-based email programs including AOL, Yahoo and Windows Live Mail accounts.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
