hotmail errors

[mattgroves]

Just noticed errors retreiving hotmail email...

FreePOPS (0.2.7) is running as a windows service (port 8110 to avoid clash with other POP3 service).
I use POPCon to retrieve POP3 mail (via FreePOPS and direct to ISP POP3) this then forwards the mail using SMTP to my Exchange server...

This was working fine, for several months, not sure when it stopped but can't be that long as no users (there are 6) have reported anything.
I changed ISP on saturday and thought this was the root issue but can't find anything else wrong with the setup...
I therefore assume MSFT have changed something (???). Have seen another thread reporting same issue...

I would greatly apreciate any help with this and am happy to alpha/beta test any new version of hotmail.lua!
Is it worth re-posting with debug logging enabled??

TIA,


Matt

EDIT:
have tested 3 of the hotmail accounts directly and can login with saved password OK.

Hotmail has started upgrading some accounts. I am working an update to fix this.

[mattgroves]

Russells, thanks, happy to test any updated builds...

Also, noticed that the accounts do get authenticated sometimes, about 1 in 30 attempts (guess) seem to get through OK, with no config changes my end. Weird. Would have thought it would be all or nothing, although I suppose MSFT have the same issue as the rest of us in updating web server code

[russells]

Here's a beta. Let's see how it takes.

I copied the file to C:\Program Files\FreePOPs\LUA_UPDATES
and restarted the freepops service
and my mail started to flow again!

Excellent,
Thanks russels.

[mattgroves]

All good here too.
All accounts are downloading (and deleting) email fine.

many thanks!!

I am really angry at hotmail now for all these problems..... i did freepops update and my hotmail accounts still aren't working....

Since i am not an ace at making these email things that you guys do, can someone explain what is going on with these hotmail problems? Why they are happening?

And is the hotmail ZIP in this forum different than the update that came from freepops updater?

Thanks!
