Hello all. I have a problem with the POP3 email notifier thing... I set up all the necesary things, login name, email, password, etc... But there's something that I don't know about:


What's the server thing, and where do I get it from??

Thanks

well, for waht emailing service are you putting pop3 for?

Hotmail...It works?

Hotmail, as far as I know, does not use Pop3 for its emails... Tell me if I'm wrong

no, you're right fraisie, hotmail doesnt support it.

Ahh, too bad .. Thanks, both of you

Because Msn Messenger already checks a hotmail account, but only if you are signed in as that account. (bit confuseing i know )

Hotmail uses HTTP
Yahoo uses POP3 (but must be activated from your account)

Hotmail addresses are indeed not POP based. You can use Hotmail Popper to check Hotmail as if it were a POP account, though.

Download Hotmail Popper.

1. Open the zip file and extract the one file that's in it.
   
2. Open the file you just extracted, installation will begin.
   
3. Click Next
   
4. Choose program folder, click Next
   
5. Choose when to start Hotmail Popper (both enabled recommended)
   
6. Click Next
   
7. A flame icon will be added to the taskbar (next to the clock)
   
8. Right click that icon
   
9. Choose Help
   
10. Scroll to How do I use it, and follow the instructions

1. Now, to set up the checking in Messenger Plus!:
   
2. Go to the Preferences, POP mail section
   
3. Enter your email address
   
4. Enter your username (part before @hotmail.com) and password
   
5. Enter 127.0.0.1 as POP3 server

That should work; good luck

Thanks alot Tochjo and everybody!!! Owe you guys big one! !!! Thanks again!!!




One last thing:



What should I put there, on port?

Or should I leave it as it is?

Thanks!

As far as I know, you don't need to change anything about the Proxy Server Configuration settings.
