New Application: HeatMail, a Hotmail client

[heatmail]

Hello everyone!

We are getting closer to the formal release of HeatMail (Hotmail Treo 650 Mail Client). I wanted to open up access to the HeatMail trial to those who are interested in testing the application out. I've attached the latest version and am very intereseted in getting feedback from you. Please feel free to comment on features and usability as well as any bugs you find. If you find a bug, please be as detailed as possible about how you found the bug and exactly what happens (or doesn't happen) that leads you to believe it is a bug. Send all emails/requests to heatmailsupport@hotmail.com.

I look forward to hearing from you.

NOTE: HeatMail is designed to be used only with legacy Hotmail accounts. The rule of thumb is that if you can access your Hotmail account through Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express, than you should be able to access it through HeatMail.

This is the best thing to happen to the Palm OS treo (for Hotmail users anyway).

I have had an @msn account for years, and have recently switched from the Windows Mobile platform to a Treo, I know I should have waited for the windows version, but I didn't. Needless to say, I was VERY disappointed when I realized there was no easy Hotmail access.

HeatMail is simply awesome. I am will to donate/contribute once it is golden master; although it does work extremely well now.

...an option to toggle to msn.com accounts - would be extremely helpful!
