POP3 E-mail thing
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

Hotmail, as far as I know, does not use Pop3 for its emails... Tell me if I'm wrong
So, Fraisie.net is empty atm. I\'m trying to come up with something cool to put on it, and I will!

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
.
Open the zip file and extract the one file that's in it.
Open the file you just extracted, installation will begin.
Click Next
Choose program folder, click Next
Choose when to start Hotmail Popper (both enabled recommended)
Click Next
A flame icon will be added to the taskbar (next to the clock)
Right click that icon
Choose Help
Scroll to How do I use it, and follow the instructions
Now, to set up the checking in Messenger Plus!:
Go to the Preferences, POP mail section
Enter your email address
Enter your username (part before @hotmail.com) and password
Enter
127.0.0.1
as POP3 server
That should work; good luck

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