    ANONYMOUS  Many thanks to Daniel for maintaining this freeware for us for so long! He can finally let it rest, because the plugin is no longer necessary.

    Microsoft has finally, at long last, made POP3 access available for all hotmail accounts (even free ones). Instructions can be found at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090407112314693

    JAYYOO  Hi, Im having trouble installing this application. I cant seem to find

    HTTPMail in picking acccount type. I only have POP, IMAP, and Exchange listed.

    I tried to close my mac mail and relaunch after installing (the application said i installed successfully).

    What am i doing wrong? I know you must get tonnes of emails, but im a little slow. Do I also have to upgrade to hotmail plus?

    I am running with Mac OS 10.5.6

    Thanks.

    AKANICO  Plug is working without any problem on 10.5.6 and installation is as simple as double clicking the icon.

    Only thing that bothers me is not being able to delete messages on the server, tried to 'erase deleted messages' like it is told in the FAQ but they keep coming back when syncing with hotmail account.

    Nice to get the mails and everything but too bad can't delete them.

    Useless to me for that matter...

    CANDICE PAPPERT  I have had HTTPMail for a few months now on the Leopard system and everything seemed to be working just fine and now I can't receive any emails. I can send outgoing messages but I'm not getting anything. Does anyone have any ideas????

    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 They have replaced this protocol has been replaced by a new one called DeltaSync.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
