Re: HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution
Let me just say this is my first time using Ubuntu but I have worked on Unix in the past. I am having 1 small problem with this set up when I try to install hotway it tells me :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package hotway
and even if I try anything else it just laughs at me :) I downloaded the install and extracted to me /usr folder but it still won't install.....Is there some strange thing I need to do to get this to work. It just took me like 1.5 days to fix the Nvidia SLI problem I was having and this doesn't seem like it will be any easier. I am really looking for an alternative to M$ but this is starting to make me wonder if this is the one. Please any help would be appreciated. New: I found the other post about hotmail and used those hotmail is now working.

This worked great but unfortunatley it doesn't download my Junk mail, not sure y but if anyone knows, please let me know. Sometimes important things come in my junk folder before I can add the to acceptable mail. Thanks
Re: HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution
Yay, my first post here :D anyway, on to business/questions:
I also get the connection timeout error on the smtp.live.com server. I tried the hotway/hotsmtp as well, but that didn't work either. pop3.live.com however seems to work flawlessly.
Re: HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution
seems there are some common problems as of late
this is the message I am receiving
Error while performing operation.
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
I am not able to send or receive my normal Hotmail emails, not through evolution atleast, which is all I use.
Its back to logging onto MSN all the time, dang it, here and I thought I was rid of the MSN monster.
Hope the powers that be can figure this out.
Thanks
