In layman's terms, these are small programs which run at specified intervals to do relatively simple tasks. As soon as hotmail or outlook or microsludge is involved however, nothing is simple unless you using their development framework which open source software such as runs this site most certainly is not, and it is probably more surprising that it ever works at all.
