Hello,
All of you who has own web server with PHP scripting support can now install your own WAP interface for accessing Hotmail.
I developed a WAP interface for Hail - PHP Hotmail Client class. All you have to do is to upload the script on your web server and point your WAP browser to index.php.
You will be able to login to your Hotmail account, read mails in all folders, write new mail, delete mails and mark them read.
Because of WAP page size limitations all folder listings are paged (5 mails per page) and email text is split in multiple pages.
This is great for you who don't trust any 3rd party WAP sites offering Hotmail access who in fact can easily steal your login info.
This way you use your own server to connect directly to Hotmail, without any 3rd party involved.
The script is released under GNU GPL, is free and you can get it on my homepage:

Any feedback is welcome. You can contact me using the contact form on:

Thanks,

You can't login on MSN mobile with ordinary WAP phone.
MSN mobile is in HTML and even if you use phone with cHTML support (like T610/T630) you usually can't login because of content limit set by operaters.
At least I can't. I get: "The content received from the origin server is too large".
My scripts uses real WML 1.1 so all WAP phones can access it. Even those without WAP 2.0 or cHTML support. Besides no problems with too large content occurs because the script is controlling and splitting the content so it always falls under 1 kB per page. |

That might be because Tripod doesn't use 'real' PHP, but in fact PHP4U. That sucks, I know. PHP4U lacks a whole lotta functions and stuff, so if you want a good PHP host, I'm afraid you'll have to pay for it...

Thank you for support. I haven't checked this thread for long time since first days I didn't get any replies so I thought people are not interested.
I think this is the only free solution for totaly independent hotmail WAP access (Phone->your server->hotmail).
For you who just want to test it out on your WAP device you can use my installation:
http://www.superbosna.com/wap/addons/hail/
I do not log your access info so you can safely test it there. However I encourage you to install this on your own server with PHP.
Do not use free hosts like lycos or tripod, you must have a real hosting with PHP4 support. All feedback is welcome. The script is not on hotscripts yet, but maybe I will publish it later.
