Copyright

HackMail by Alex Chudnovsky aka AtW (c) Copyright 1998. This program was written by me from scratch, only the following (freeware) great component was used for development:
Program is also freeware, however you can not sell it any how without my written permission. Also I forbid any kind of commercial usage. Just for you personally! You can reverse-engineer if you like so. Mail me if you have any legal or not words to tell me.

What is it?

    Hackmail is a program designed to make easy mail fetches from very well known Web Mail provider: http://www.hotmail.com Despite obvious advantages this type of mail takes often much more time then simple mail reading should take. Do you need to see all these ad's??? Do you want to wait until they get downloaded? I guess your answer is no, same as mine. By running this program you will take all your web mail in most efficient way and will have it forwarded to your any usual Email account. YES! It's that's easy, just run it and it will get all mail for you! Optionally it may save it on your disk if you do not want get it forwarded (although this is not very convenient way to browse trough your mail). Hackmail works very fast, no images ever get loaded, no more stupid ad's around. And it's also free.
 

System Requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Well, no one so far seen this program (only few people) so this would be my good guess of possible question will arise:

1. Q: Why it's called HackMail?
    A: It's what came into my mind when I first had idea to do that. Besides, HoTMaiL-HaCKMail, not too bad rhythm?

2. Q: Is it legal?
    A: 100%. It is _NOT_ any sort of illegal hack. A hack in this context means pretty-weird-way-to-do-it. Not to go deeply in tech stuff, HackMail is merely a customly programmed browser which knows what to take and what not.

3. Q: All work working fine yesterday but today it's all stopped!
    A: Possible! Due to changes in HOTMAIL server, which are not yet reflected in my program will mean temporary inability to work for my program. I suggest you notify me ASAP if that happens. There should not be such changes in server which will stop my program from work unless Hotmail/Microsoft staff would hate my program too much to change layout of their web pages.

4. Q: Any info about how it was coded?
    A: Sure. It's about 50kb in C++. Plus about 25kb in HTML parser and about 80kb of visual component to show HTML. Last 2 were done a year ago for other project. I just re-used them. That's good side of C++. Provided they were coded well...
Compiler used - C++Builder v1.0. Raw protocols such as HTTP/SMTP Internet were by Francois Piette. I tried many other about 10, freeware and commercial, these are best! Free and with source code. Unfortunately it's Object Pascal :(.

5. Q: Your question!
    A: ...

Click here to download the most latest version: (United Kingdom): hackmail.zip (~400kb)
Here some paranoids (like me) and tech nerds can have a look at the source: hackmail107.zip
Installation is easy, just unzip it to any folder you like. I hope interface is self-explanatory. I do not provide screen shots as program is pretty small so instead of downloading images you could get whole stuff!
