Ok... so I used to use hotmail a lot on the road & somehow wound up with like 6 pages & 700+ emails worth of must-save top secret stuff in my hotmail box....
And then about a week ago there was a MAJOR exploit discovered with hotmail that didn't last very long.. but long enough for me to think twice about leaving sensitive information there....
To make a long story short...

That little
app will let you check your HOTMAIL (and download all existing mail from hotmail) using your standard email client - ie Outlook, Eudora whatver..
Soooo cool.
Finally my personals are off hotmail & I wont ever have to see one of those "Your account size is growing too large hombre!" warnings.
