Thankfully, the HotWay project has engineered a POP-to-HTTPMail proxy

fetchmail features a "plugin" mode, so if hotwayd can be made to talk
through stdio and stdout, which should be trivial if hotways is
installed in inetd mode, the "plugin" mode will already provide this
functionality without the need to explicitly configure the service on a
POP3 port or something.
This is an interesting idea - and would allow the code to remain
separate while (hopefully) making the combination easy to use.
It would be nice all the fetchmail user would have to do is to
configure their .fetchmailrc with an entry like:
poll dav.hotmail.com protocol httpmail username
"mrhotmailuser(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com" password "hothothot"
I'll look into the plugin option.
Thanks,
Craig
