Hotmail-to-Linux forwarding utility sought



The good folks at Hotmail redesigned their screens this past weekend, at a
time when crackers took a handful of download sites offline for days on end.

For a few months I've been using a nifty curl-based script called 'gotmail' to
pull mail off the hotmail server to my Linux box, but it died this week and
due to the site-cracking and to apparent lack of maintenance by the developer,
I can't get a new version.

I don't really want to go under the hood and redesign gotmail.  Anyone have an
alternative way of polling hotmail under Linux?  Site admins at this big email
sites won't let you configure a forwarding address so the only way to
consolidate mail into one place is to poll it via html or pop3.
