Email Verifier with Hotmail

[illmill 87]

Ok, I'm stuck on this. It seems pretty straight forward, but I can't get ubot to connect to mail server with hotmail. I also tried yahoo, but was having different issues. It keeps saying unable to connect to mail server. Here are my settings (UBot 4 using connect to mail server node):

Connection Type: POP3

Username: Username that I'm 100% sure exists

Password: This password definitely works with this username. I'm able to log in with chrome.

Server: pop3.live.com

Port: 995

 

Any suggestions?

Did you try pop3 with SSL?

I am actually in the middle of creating a bot to verify emails in hotmail. The connection to the email server works and the email verifier pulls emails (as seen through the wizard), but email verifier simply doesn't verify anything.

 

Sent this into support today...not really sure if the email verifier even works: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cl1tXdHS8

if it doesnt work right you need a way to do it.

 

the old way was to log into hotmail or your email directly.

 

then loop through that table, scrape out the urls for specified subject lines, and then loop through navigating to each url in the list.

 

fastest possible option at the moment.

I agree with TJ. Do it manually then let the bot work once you are in.

Its very bad that this option doesn't work properly with hotmail!
