HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution

[mandrill]

has anyone seen this message, this is what i get after following the directions in this post.

ERR- unable to find folder on remote server.

You must have set your incoming server as IMAP. For really easy hotmail access, download freepops @ http://cybertech.altervista.org/en/freepops.php, making sure you download proper architecture for your machine, (both freepops and its updater), install via gdebi, set incoming server as localhost:2000, set server as POP, use your isp smtp for outgoing, update the freepops program with the separate updater,(applications>internet) and you're good to go.

I don't use hotmail very often, if at all, but I just now checked mine, and it is working perfectly.

ps - restart your machine the daemon will run automatically.

Good Luck!

Is it possible for someone to repost the steps on how to do this. I have tried the steps from the very beginning, But there seem to be other ways of setting this up, I can't quite seem to figure out all of the steps from the many pages and posts.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm a new user trying to switch from windows to ubuntu.


Thanks,
Anthony

I have followed the instructions in the first post but when i send/receive messages the following happens



Can anyone help with this????

Same thing happened to me as described by zolts in the above quote. The message shows up after clicking Send/Receive and entering the pass. I noticed that quite a few people have mentioned this error since the beginning of this thread, but I'm unclear of the solution. Would you kindly help us resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

I just installed Ubuntu today and I was so confused as to terminals, but I found the terminal, and followed all of your instructions and my hotmail is working through evolution so I wanted to say great work and thank you!

Thank you for the tutorial. I get it to work, but my problem is that a wanna left the messages on the server, and when i remove them in evolution the message is not removed within the server. Anyone can help me with this?

Dude:

I don't know how you learn to do all this stuff with Linux but if it wasn't for the Forums tonight with the howto posts I wouldn't be able to watch movies on my Ubuntu OS and access my Gmail & MS Accounts and I'm still trying to think of some other things that I am going to have to get this OS system to do but so far most of the codes that I have entered are way above my knowledgeable windows mind set - this is the first time I have started to use Linux and the Howto posts are making my life a lot easier then having to figure all this stuff out myself with not knowing a lick a spit about Linux.

Thank you to all the Howto Contributors
