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 They have replaced this protocol has been replaced by a new one called DeltaSync.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

    NIKISKI  I found sometimes deleted items are not properly synchronized. After deleting an item it occasionally reappears in my Inbox. It gets the job done but this little quirk is quite annoying. I'm using Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2, with no other Mail.app add-ons.

    TEKL  Can this only be used with Hotmail? Or is Lycos supported too?

    BOCABOY  I've used this plug-in for about a year and have suddenly encountered a problem where none of my e-mail is readable. The only thing I see are the headers but there is no message content.

    Additionally, the "synchronize" command doesn't seem to behave the way you might think. It only seems to synchronize Inbox, Deleted Items and Sent Items. Subfolders are ignored.

    I have asked for help twice on these issues from the developer but have gotten no response.

    RORYK1  Just installed it to get my hotmail account on my mac mail, but im through to the main window and it wont connect. When I try and connect it says

    "Could not connect to 'Hotmail Account'

    Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up at http://join.msn.com/general/Email"

    But the address gets redirected to a general hotmail page and I can't get to any subscription.

    Any ideas what I can do?
