Just a quick note to let everybody know that I’m making good progress reverse engineering the Windows Live Mail protocol. With the help of a couple of other people I’ve managed to determine the nature of the compression used on the message data.

HTTPMail 1.52 released
I’ve received quite a lot of email about 10.5.3 breaking the plugin, and finally got around to looking into it today. I have uploaded a new version of the plugin that seems to work for me 😉 As always the latest version can be grabbed from my downloads page.
Microsoft is going to disable WebDav access to Hotmail
Well, it was fun while it lasted, but Microsoft has finally decided to close access to its servers via the WebDav (or HttpMail) protocol. As my hotmail plugin uses this protocol to communicate with the hotmail servers this means that as of June 30th 2008 my plugin will no longer work 🙁 I am looking …

Yesterday I got account editing working, and tonight’s effort sees sending working. It is still not possible to create new accounts, but that is something for another time. It’s almost midnight and I’m going to be woken up at some time around 3 or 4 am by the little one for a feed so I’d …
git
I’ve been using darcs as my version control software of choice for quite a while now, but unfortunately I’m having trouble using it with dreamhost 🙁 I’ve looked about on the web for anybody who has successfully created public repositories on dreamhost, but all I can find is people asking how to do it.
