Wow! It actually works!

 

There used to be a plugin that did this but Microsoft disabled WebDAV access and the plugin no longer worked.

nice to have mail again :rolleyes:

 

Thanks

 

 

 

PS just know that it will only grab what is in your main inbox, not any of the other folders so you may want to still check your junk mail folder from time to time.
