HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution

[ksamvel]

Rather than running in inetd compatibility mode, why not create a xinetd server configuration file for hotwayd as described here?:

The only additional step I had to perform was to edit the /etc/hosts.allow file and add the following line (otherwise I could not connect to 127.0.0.1):

hotwayd: 127.0.0.1

Cheers.

That is Saint step!!! I have spent lots of my time to figure this out. Thanks.

Unable to connect to POP server 127.0.0.1.
Error sending password: -ERR Hotmail said you must pay money to have WebDAV access

Please enter the POP password for *****@hotmail.com on host 127.0.0.1

Now what?

I just give it a try, the 127.0.0.1 as pop did not work but the pop3hot.com worked out after adding login and password on IzyMail. is this in any way secure ? what if i change the hotmail password will it work after that like its working now?

I work with Kmail (KDE).

I would like to try this, but first I'd like to know if running this inet daemon will make a sensible hit in the computer performance?

Thanks.

OK, mine's working fine, thanks to the original poster!

This is more of an evolution question, I'd like my hotmails to go into a seperate folder that I've just made, but I can't seem to see a way to do a message rule for it. Is there a way to set up a rule to filter by account rather than by subject or sender?


Ignore that...found it, its Add then choose source account from the drop down...nice

I had problems with sending mail and I usually had to sudo /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart in order just to receive mail. Then I came across izymail, and all problems solved. http://v3.izymail.com/support.aspx#setup is the way to go.
