in reply to Extracting email with PERL-

You might try WWW::Hotmail. FYI, for future reference, going to http://search.cpan.org is a good start. From that cpan page:
use WWW::Hotmail; my $hotmail = WWW::Hotmail->new(); $hotmail->login('foo@hotmail.com', "bar") or die $WWW::Hotmail::errstr; my @msgs = $hotmail->messages(); die $WWW::Hotmail::errstr if ($!); print "You have ".scalar(@msgs)." messages\n"; for (@msgs) { print "messge from ".$_->from."\n"; # retrieve the message from hotmail my $mail = $_->retrieve; # deliver it locally $mail->accept; # forward the message $mail->resend('myother@email.address.com'); # delete it from the inbox $_->delete; } $hotmail->compose( to => ['user@email.com','otheruser@otheremail.com'], subject => 'Hello Person!', body => q[Dear Person, I am writing today to tell you about something important. Thanks for all your support. Sincerely, Other Person ]) or die $WWW::Hotmail::errstr;
