The Question is where can I get a good Packet Sniffer from. ; )

AFAIK, Outlook just "simulates" a webbrowser and gets the particular
data by sending the appropriate http requests.

Take a look at http://www.winfiles.com
TheSource
I tried to do the following:
I looked at Hotmail.com (On the HTML code)
then, I found out that there should be a POST request with the Login Name
And Password.
So, Using ICS, I tried to do that Request:
Buffer = "login=Name&passwd=Pass&enter=Sign+in";
and then send the request as POST.
the problem is that I got the "Hotmail Please re-enter your password" page
instead of getting into the account.
Can you try to do it yourself and then tell me what is wrong?
That is a very interesting issue. ; )

Your Buffer looks like a GET request, but you said it requires a POST
request. So you probably have to include the data into the http header.
TheSource
How would you do it?
I did (in general, something like that):
String Buf = "login=Name&passwd=Pass&enter=Sign+in";
TMemoryStream *DataOut = new TMemoryStream;
HttpCli1->ContentTypePost = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
DataOut->Write(Buf.c_str(), Buf.Length());
DataOut->Seek(0, soFromBeginning);
HttpCli1->SendStream = DataOut;
HttpCli1->RcvdStream = NULL;
HttpCli1->URL = " https://lc1.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/dologin ";
try
{
HttpCli1->Post();
}
except(TRUE)
{
DataOut->Free();
HttpCli1DocEnd(NULL);
// ShowMessage("Problem");
return;
}
void __fastcall TForm1::HttpCli1DocBegin(TObject *Sender)
{
HttpCli1->RcvdStream = new TFileStream("C:/Test2.txt", fmCreate);
}
__fastcall TForm1::HttpCli1DocEnd(TObject *Sender)
{
HttpCli1->RcvdStream->Free();
HttpCli1->RcvdStream = NULL;
}
Now ,Try doing what needed (the post request - look at the HTML code of
hotmail.com and see what should be put in the request).
Then, tell me if it worked, and what was wrong. ;)
That is very weird. ;)

Well, I am sorry but I havent ever worked ICS yet and so I have no clue
what to do. The best way is probably really to run a sniffer which shows
you what Outlook Express sends and what it receives.

I can't seem to find a Good Sniffer that could actually tell me what OutLook
does...
Do you know a good Sniffer + how to use it to find out what OutLook does ?

I know a good one, but cant remember the name :). I will search at
winfiles.com.

Sorry havent found it. But I believe its name is NetAnalyzer. However I
found two others.

http://www.ufasoft.com/sniffer/
Maybe one of those will help you.

The problem is that I can't understand what OutLook Express does from what
those Snifferes produce...
I feel Lost in space...
Can you understand the way it should be done, using the snifferS?

This one is unfortunately a little bit buggy and I couldnt see how to
use it.

This one seems to do his job. Try it.

Analyze it and try to understand what Outlook sends and receives.

You have to login with http client (Winshoes or ICS) and use SSL protocol
https.
Look at the form's fields and do the post like is it done with web browser.
