TLS option in SimpleMail SMTP

Anonymous (not verified) —Sun, 02/08/2009 - 13:46

I use SimpleMail and love it.

As MICROSOFT free hotmail last month, i tried to configure my hotmail account.

I can perfectly read my HOTMAIL mailbox (POP3,995,SSL), but i can't send message from this mailbox (SMTP,587,TLS).

As i had the same problem with ThunderBird i trick any parameter, and finaly i found :

You have to set the TLS option in the SMTP server, in place of the SSL option.

I know this 2 protocols are very similar but obviously HOTMAIL can see the difference.

So, can you make the SSL option compatible with the TLS protocol ?

Many thanks.

If anyone know how to configure YAHOO from SimpleMail tell me, i'd love to put away the webmail extension !!!

Some time ago I was told that it's possible to use Hotmail or Yahoo with Simple Mail by using FreePOPs program.

YAHOO seems to have unlock its POP and SMTP access.

So I can configure YAHOO in SimpleMail or in ThunderBird without any WebMail extension now.

I only have the problem with sending messages from HOTMAIL because of the TLS protocole.
