One approach may be to connect a non-web mail reader to your hotmail
account. Does it allow POP or IMAP access? If so, you could connect
something like thunderbird (or getmail or fetchmail, depending on your
mail setup) to the pop/imap service, and set up your outgoing email to
use your hotmail address on the headers.


I've decided to use my favourite email program, kmail, which I use always. I
only use those online email sites for chatting on forums and lists, as I am
wary about contaminating my provider account with spam. I had to create an
email alias with my provider - yes, another identity! alas! - but at least I
don't have to go to a web site to write, which is easier. Also, the provider
doesn't allow names longer than 8 characters, so kwhiskerz had to become
kuiskers, which is still in my kde theme, and the meaning is clear, as is the
pronunciation, but it now looks Dutch :-)

I've noticed that when I hit reply with kmail, a field opens below the quoted
text, while reply in hotmail (and gmail, I think) opens the reply field above
the quoted text. I have never given much thought to top- or bottom-posting,
but simply type my reply into the space provided by the programmers of the
software.

I can understand that, but you've picked the spawn of the devil to work
with. I'm sure if you say what you want from a service (webmail or not,
IMAP, POP3, masses of storage, your own domain name, etc.), you'll get
some suggestions of what to try.


Google's not imap, is it? Which is a free (in both senses, even) imap mail to
try?

Yeah, I was kind of thinking hotmail for corresponding with redhat would be
more than a bit uncool :-)

The nice thing about using my provider's email is that I just click 'check
mail in' and all of the mail comes, and they have web access, too.
Unfortunately, it is pop and not imap.
