Hotmail Alerts using Live API


Iam looking to write a C# application to alert the user when he gets an email on his hotmail account. I have already gone through

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/httpmail.aspx

But seems that Microsoft has discontinued it now. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1652391,00.asp

I looked to the Live SDK but couldn't find any mail related API's in it , can anybody suggest where exactly I should look for? I am a passionate researcher , just a small pointer would be enough for me. Thanks for all the help!


Solution

  • If you are looking for something similar to what MSN Messenger does when you get a new message (at least it works like that for me), then you could try a packet sniffer to see what packets are coming and going when the popup occurs.
