Hotmail Unread Message Checker

I have seen a bunch of nice simple scripts that check to see if you have any unread messages in your gmail inbox, but none for hotmail. Am I just missing them or do they not exist?

Re: Hotmail Unread Message Checker

They probably don't exist, since most scripts I saw use gmail's RSS email feed, or IMAP, neither of which hotmail offers.  Hotmail actually only recently started offering POP3 for email clients, so maybe a script will show up in the near future utilizing POP3 to call number of unread emails or so from hotmail, but I'm not sure.

Hope that helps?

P.S. If my assumptions are wrong, please feel free to correct me.
