Hotmail logon

[wasiq]

Hi,
I am trying to make a program, which inputs the users hotmail login name and password through a standard text box and log the user on to the hotmail server. And then show the contents of his mailbox in a web browser control. Anyone knows how to do that?

I think this will do the trick:http://www.planet-source-code.com/xq...s/ShowCode.htm

[Dim]

WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.hotmail.com/"
'I thin the problem was in the readystate stament.
Do Until WebBrowser1.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
    DoEvents
Loop
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(0).login.Value = Text1.Text 
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(0).passwd.Value = Text2.Text    
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(0).proceed.Click

That will send the values of the textboxes to the webbrowser control. And click the login button. Then the inbox will be displayed.

Hope that helps,
D!m

Dim, i dont want to show the hotmail login page, just to save time, this is the main purpose of my program.

Step 1: Go to their site with internet explorer (Just as if your browsing) Open the source code and copy their entire form and paste it into an empty html document on your hard drive!

Step 2: You make your program's browser load this page off your hard drive (Which is about 1 million times faster than internet!) and then you make it fill in the blanks just like dim showed you but the last line should be instead of all that WebBrowser1.Document.Form(0).Proceed.Click crap type in the following: WebBrowser1.Document.Form(0).Submit

That works better and I have tried it many times!

You may have to change any relative references in the page to absolute. Maybe.

oetje, the hotmail checker doesn't show anything in the list even if I got 1 new mail? Is that i have to change the preferences or something or do you get anything in the list except for "from: subject:"
