Note: initial run was straight from the setup, before I changed the defaults.
Downloaded Hotmail Popper 1.0
Started the install script
- (intro) hit next
- install path. accepted default. hit next
- checked both boxes
- start hotmail popper at startup
- start hotmail popper after installation
- hit next
- Installation complete. hit finish
Opened TheBat
Clicked on Account->New
- account Name: hotmail
- homedir: <default>
Clicked next
- Fullname: Wolffe Mann
- email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (hotmail address here)
- organisation: <left blank>
Clicked Next
- SMTP Server: mail.myISP.com <-- this is for outgoing mail
- Pop3 Server: 127.0.0.1
Clicked Next
- Username: Hotmail ID
- Password: Hotmail password
Clicked Next
- check account settings: YES
Clicked Next
= accounts window opens
General
- verified From Address was hotmail address ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Transport
(Send Mail)
- SMTP Server: should be regular ISP or other Email send server
- Connection: Regular
- Port: 25
(Receive Mail)
- Mail Server: 127.0.0.1 <-- must match address in Popper options
- User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <-- must be hotmail address!!
- Password: my_hotmail_password
- Protocol: POP3
- Connection: Regular
- Port: 110 <-- default port here
must match Port in Popper options
(Mail Management)
set to your personal preferences
(Options)
- check Periodical checking each xx minutes
- set the minutes to your preference
- set other options to your preference
Everything else was left at default settings
A candle flame now appears on your task bar. If you right click it and select options
you get a popup with 2 fields:
Address: default should be 127.0.0.1
Port: default should be 110
-Click OK
These 2 fields should match "Mail Server:" and "Port:" in "(Receive Mail)" above.
Right click on the candle flame again and select exit.
Click on START->Programs->Hotmail_Popper->Hotmail_Popper to restart the popper.
You should now be ready to test it. In TheBat click on the "Inbox" for the Hotmail
account to highlight it. Press F2 or Account->Get_Mail to start the retrieval. It
is a little slow on starting.
If you have a personal firewall (Kerio, ZoneAlarm, BlackIce, etc) disable it for the
test. If you are successful in retrieving data, re-enable the firewall, send a message
to your hotmail account from you regular email (isp) and try to retrieve it again.
That's about it. Good Luck.
Cheers Yall
