Description

Hi,

It seems that mailwatch plugin didn't work with Hotmail's POP3 servers.

Using "pop3.live.com" as mail server, "user@live.com" as username (and proper password) and I'm using "Use SSL/TLS on alternate port" on port 995.

The point is that I couldn't use a protocol analyzer (like wireshark) while POP3 connections to "pop3.live.com" must be encrypted; so I can't try to debug-it myself.

Things that i've tested :

  • my GMail accounts are working with this mailwatch plugin
  • new created hotmail's accounts doesn't work
  • Hotmail accounts tested are working great with other clients (thunderbird, opera mail, etc)

Also, when i say "it doesn't work" with hotmail's pop3 : this is that the plugins doesn't report new mails (even if i had received new ones in on inbox), and mailwatch plugin doesn't write any errors on the "mailwatch log" window.

PS : sorry about my bad english, this is not my native langage
