Check other HM accounts by Mrbaseball34 on 05-04-2006 at 01:04 PM
I know I can set it up to check POP3 accounts but can I make it check
other Hotmail (besides the one I'm logged in as) or Yahoo accounts?
RE: Check other HM accounts by Menthix on 05-04-2006 at 01:06 PM
Hotmail doesn't support POP3 unless you use their paid service, so no, sorry.
I'm not 100% sure about Yahoo, but i believe they don't support POP3 either. If that's correct than you can't use Plus! to check Yahoo either.

G-Mail doesnt use standard port thou.
pop 3 by default is port 110, G-Mail Reguires an Encrypted Connection to server therefore it uses port 995 with SSL.
Hotmail has never support pop3 on standard accounts.
Yahoo i think Does support it .well my BT Yahoo account does support pop3 not sure about standard accounts.

Well yeah, i have tried with the 995 before. however i'm not sure if that option in hotmail allows users to select SSL or not.

I *KNOW* that. It would be nice if MsgPlus would allow you to setup different Hotmail accounts for it to check and it would
be able to do those via the standard way that it checks HM accounts, NOT POP3.
Is there a way to change the tray popup to show what account
the popup is announcing messages from?

You guys are so funny.
You can check other hotmail accounts for emails by using these stuff:
E-mail Server: pop3hot.com
Encrypted Connection (SSL): No
It works for me, and I don't have a premium account.
Peace.

The fact IS that hotmail does NOT support pop3 email (unless you have a paid account). This means that you can NOT check hotmail with any pop3-client directly.
quote:This is not directly checking hotmail.com. What you posted/use is a service provided by a 3rd party (like there are many) which checks the hotmail unread email count for you using the proper protocol to contact hotmail (which is not pop3). By contacting this service, it will return the emails to your pop3-client by converting the protocol hotmail is using to pop3.

Note 1: you give out your login and password to a 3rd party instance
Note 2: By using this service, you actually register to their online service. You will recieve an email (on the email you're checking) which states that you MUST subscribe to their online service if you want to continue to use their services. Only the FIRST 15 DAYS this service is free (after that you pay +-$15 a year).
Note 3: the server "pop3hot.com" is old and must be replaced by "izymail.com" or "in.izymail.com".
Note 4: Only a maximum of 300 connections per day is allowed. If you connect more than 300 times a day to their service, your account will be suspended (though 300 connections a day should well be sufficient).
Note 5: The trial period will also end after 1000 connections.

Geeze, calm down, man. 
Can't you take a joke?

But what were saying here, is that it's not possible to retrieve mail data from the Hotmail/Yahoo! servers what has been asked many times before and blah blah blah...
