Are there RSS or other APIs available for Hotmail a-la Gmail ?
I am trying to write a Web 2.0 application which will aggregate mail headers from different sources for people with many mail accounts. I could not find anything on hotmail.
I wish I had better news, but at this time there is no API (RSS or otherwise) available that would enable you to pull Hotmail (Windows Live Mail) subject headers or messages. It would be a pretty useful API however, especially when combined with notificiation scenarios.
Cheers,

Hi Todd,
Thanks for this message.
Could you tell me if this is on the development plan for Windows Live, and if so, when is it expected to be open to public. Even Yahoo have recently opened up the email APIs and Hotmail / MSN seem to be the only big player out there without such APIs.
I have write a simple PHP wrapper to connect to hotmail account and produce an RSS with sender, subject, status (read / unread / attachment). Send me a PV if you want to know more : jerome11116 at "the mail service you are talking about" dot com.
Thoses classes are used by the
HotmailRSS service .
lol ?
Please, provide the code source before asking us to fill our credentials.
Sorry but this smells so bad ...
