  1. I just got this email from microsoft:

    “In response to customer feedback requesting more time to evaluate alternative solutions, we have decided to postpone retiring DAV and we are investigating other alternatives for accessing Windows Live Hotmail via Outlook Express. This means that if you use Outlook Express to access your Windows Live Hotmail account, you will continue to be able to do so beyond the previously announced June 30 transition deadline.”

    The plugin won’t be useless after June 30th!

  2. Thanks a million for the update. I’m midway through changing to googlemail, but it looks as though I can wait a bit before going the whole hog.

    Thanks again,

    Pete.

  3. Thanx a lot for the update all the way from Brazil. It’s not an easy thing changing emails and also living without MAIL.

  4. . . . And according to Jeff, it will not only work great until June 30th. So, that’s good news for everybody! Hope they let it be, or you, Daniel, create something else for the new protocol. 😉

  5. You’re amazing Daniel. It works great. Thanks a million time for this latest plugin. Much appreciated.

    Pura Vida!

  6. Daniel… thank you so much for this… i was very despered… i was already using ENTOURAGE… but this plugin is much much better. THANK YOU for the hard work.

  7. Daniel, You are a true genius. Once again to have hotmail back in Apple Mail makes my life feel sort of complete! Sounds weird and truly sad, that I know, but there are some things that are hard to live without and for me, this is one of them. Your efforts are really appreciated here. Thanks a million.

  8. Odd thing, I already had 1.52 installed when I upgraded to OSX 10.5.3, but httpmail stopped working anyway. Had to reinstall it, but now it seems to be working again. Just thought I’d mention it here if it happens to anyone else. Just reinstall.

  9. Thanks a bazillion Daniel. I donno how to thank you enough for your continuous support and help. This is excellent news so i can keep on using my Mail on OS X.

  10. Daniel – Thanks dood! – the only way I can enjoy the mail.app – you totally rock!

    Take care!

  11. man, i thought you just gave it up but my god, you are truly amazin! you put my life back on truck and this is just fantastic!
    u da man!!

  12. The point is, I can send e-mails now but still receiving is impossible.
    I will try to describe what happen when I try to receive new email on hotmail account using Daniel’s plugin to Mail app.

    After clicking on “Get mail” icon, animated icon appears next to hotmail account and trying to fetch new emails.. but after that nothing – surprisingly – when I go to my account in browser, I got new emails! Why is like that? No errors during fetching mail, nothing .. Just like no new emails.

    I got up-to-date leopard.

    Please help.

    Cheers.

  13. no wonder my Mail app no longer receives any hotmail emails after 12th June (i think its the day i updated my osx). great work. thanks dan.

  14. I though this plugin enables sending as well as receiving ..
    Even entourage resuts in error during send/receive..

    Gash! Maybe it’s time to change email?

    Cheers

  15. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!! YES! YES! YES! Thankyou so much, microsoft live hotmail page is a total crap, Mail rocks and you too Daniel, thanks a lot!!!!

  16. Thanks so much for this update Daniel. It makes it so much easier to access Hotmail from the Mac. Thanks again.

  17. Thanks Daniel, I had the trouble for sometime but Microsoft’s anticipated changes paralysed any effort to look for solution. So thanks again for reviving the use of hotmail with Mac. much appreciated

  18. Yahooo….
    I was reading the previous post regarding the end of DAV support for hotmail…. I cried!
    Then I read the bit about MS delaying the date they switch off DAV…. I shouted for joy!
    Then I read about the update that kills HttpMail (I thought it as MS that turned me off)….. I cried again!!
    Then I ready this post, and downloaded v1.52 and it WORKS!!!…… I am still shouting for joy!

    (What a roller-coaster ride!)

    I am going to put the “Vacation reply” on in hotmail telling everyone that I am no longer using hotmail and switching to Gmail. I recommend you all do the same. This on again, off again is too hard!

    All the same, HUGE HUGE thanks to Daniel for such a kick arse plug in!

  19. Checking my hotmail using Apple Mail. Everything works great except junk mail. Message headers show up in Apple Mail but can’t actually view body of junk mail messages to check if they are legit

  20. Hello Daniel, thanks for all the work,however version 1.52 doesnot work anymore on leopard version 10.5.4 ???
    the servers of all the mailboxes are hanging around and the mail-program doesnot function at all (cursor turns around so to speak and blocks the computer)
    after taking out the pluginn ,mail is good operating without hotmail pluginn
    regards

  21. After having the plugin work very well for me before microsoft disabled webdav access, i just tried 1.52 on 10.5.4 and it doesn’t work for me still, i was so excited to get it up and running again!
    Keep up the good work Daniel.

  22. It’s working now already, cheers, easy to update, just run installer, no need to delete old install or account details. Hooray!

  23. Daniel – I downloaded your plugin about a week ago. I must say it works great so far – but only for receiving mail, not sending. For some reason I cannot send me. When I click send I get two error messages. The first one says: *** -[NSURL initWithString:relativeToURL:]: nil string parameter. Then the second one says: This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.

    The sender address xxxx@xxx.com was rejected by the server

    Can you help? It would be great if I could send from my MAIL application (I have a Mac and my computer uses OS X 10.4.11…

    Thanks!

  24. Thank Daniel. I was just about to purchase the hotmail plus until I saw your update. Is there anything you can do for to get the iphone to retrieve hotmail?

  25. Everything works well, except when I try to move an email from the Mac Mail inbox to one of my Hotmail folders from within the mac mail program……moves those emails to the correct folder within the Mac Mail program but moves the email from the web-based hotmail inbox to the trash and not to the corresponding folder that I moved it to inside in the Mac Mail program.

    Every night, I have to log-onto hotmail via the web and re-move all of those “moved” emails from the hotmail trash and back to their corresponding folders

    any thoughts?

  26. So it does NOT work on leo 10.5.4?
    I still have 10.5.3 and plugin works fine. if it won’t work on 10.5.4 i wont download it…

    Danile! Please make it work for 10.5.4!
