MS SHUT DOWN!

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

from sourceforge
As of June 30th 2008, my plugin will cease to function as Microsoft has decided to terminate HTTPMail (also known as WebDav) protocol access. They have replaced this protocol has been replaced by a new one called DeltaSync. Unfortunately DeltaSync is undocumented and uses non-standard compression and encryption of message data. Until these issues can be resolved there is nothing I can do to fix my plugin.

If you have a Hotmail Plus account you should still be able to access your mail using the POP3 protocol. The details for setting up POP3 access is as follows.

Incoming mail server: pop3.live.com (port 995)
Outgoing mail server: smtp.live.com (port 25)

Username: your full hotmail email address

NOTE: the outgoing mail server requires authentication

MS SHUT DOWN! - huntcraig8

Shame - I tried it and discovered you can only use pop3 if you have a paid MS account. Oh well, it's a good excuse to ditch Hotmail for Google.
