Wolverine1977 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Can anyone recommend a gadget that checks for new hotmail (live mail) messages. I have googled and not found one that works. I am running windows 7 Pro x64 and of the 5 or 6 gadgets I found when configuring the POP3 settings non would retrieve emails. there are lots for GMail etc but it seems like none for Live Mail - is anyone able to create one ?Thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Most of the problem with POP mail gadgets is that people forget that hotmail/live mail do NOT use the standard 110 port - it uses port 995 with SSL encryption. Also, since it requires SMTP auth, unless you find a gadget that does SMTP auth before attempting the POP3 connection, none are going to work.
