  • Is your question about connecting and downloading from HotMail/Live.com, or is it about handling the downloaded email in Delphi? – Ken White Apr 21 '11 at 13:34

  • You did not answer Ken's question. Do you want to know how to connect to Hotmail/Live's server, or do you want to know how to parse emails after connecting? Those are two distinct issues. – Remy Lebeau Apr 21 '11 at 22:25

You can use Indy (simple zip example, connecting to gmail (should be same as hotmail)) or ICS components.

  • ICS has components for SSL as well as unencrypted TCP/IP. You have to get the OpenSSL DLLs that work with the components (OpenSSL 1.0 does NOT); those are on the ICS website as well. – Graham Apr 21 '11 at 14:53
