Hello,
I want to retrieve the number of unread emails on hotmail.
Can you explain me how to do that, because I tried everything to get a result, but I can't at least access the server...
Thanks

The POP3 protocol does not provide a way to retrieve just the count of read or unread messages.
If you really need to know, you need to fetch the headers of all mailbox messages and see the value of the Status header. This is not a standard feature but it works with many POP3 servers.
