Getting MSN/hotmail WITHOUT http plugin?
I have been using the http plugin (Daniel Parnell, 1.49 version) for quite a few months now for my MSN email accounts. Everything was working fine until I started using my .mac sync function to backup up my mail stuff (accounts, rules, etc.) and then I started getting a lot of crashes in Mail and had to start my accounts again from scratch. I kept reloading all my accounts (mac, msn, gmail) and it would still crash. Finally, I loaded all but the MSN accounts (http plugin) and have done a couple syncs and haven't had any trouble since.
My question is has anyone had this same problem and is there an alternative way to get your MSN accounts on Mail?
I'm in the process of transerring those MSN accounts over to gmail but until then I'd like to get them on my Mail program.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I haven't heard of anything else that allows MSN/Hotmail accounts to work with Mail..
It is likely that another alternative would rely on the same technology/design. You might post a bug report with the project admins on
http://sourceforge.net/support/getsupport.php?group_id=74709
though the resolution of the issue may take some time.

started in safe mode but still can not get msn or my hotmail, just comes up with a blank page.Removed all cookies and cache and all add-ons are off. Removed foxfire and reinstalled to no avail. Have done everything all can think of but no way it will work yet if I go to Explorers the damn thing works.Any ideas?????
Sorry you are having problems.
Both sites work ok for me using Firefox. That comment may not make you feel good but along with the fact that both sites work for you on IE it does tend to point to something rather specific on your computer affecting firefox.
I do notice quite a few questions recently about this. In many cases clearing the cache or just a Ctrl+F5 reload will help, along with clearing the cookies for that site.

I suppose malware could be the cause as this reply said [/questions/944943#answer-413484] and for a other troubleshooting advice please have a look at suggestions in this short [/questions/952206 thread]
Something you should try as an elimination step is booting with the F8 key into Windows Safe Mode with network support

Installed airport extreme now can't get to Hotmail or MSN..
I use a Linksys router and I can access the rest of the web no problem from my Mac, just not Hotmail or MSN. Tried deleting and re-installing Messenger to no avail. I should add I can get to Hotmail and MSN no problem using my other computer (Sony vaio) on the same wireless network.
So is it a Hotmail problem or something to do with the airport extreme card? do I need to do something with the ports? before I used to use cable modem with the Mac, and hotmail, Messenger etc worked no problem.
Thanks for any ideas

When trying to log into my MSN Hotmail account (@msn.com), after I enter my credentials, Firefox gives me an error message that "Firefox can't find the server at blu152.mail.live.com". I am able to log in easily from the same computer using Internet Explorer. I think this problem just started yesterday. Why is Firefox unable to connect to my e-mail account?
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

When I have typed an email and press spell check it sayed that browser will check it for me. When I tested it the spelling mistake was left uncheck by MSN Hotmail and or Firefox. Which?
How do I get the spell check to work?

ChrisDo you have a dictionary installed and selected?
* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

Problem with MSN/Hotmail/MS Live/Passport
Hi,
For some reason I can't access my hotmail account in Safari. It used to work fine, then suddenly stopped (no idea why). Have tried deleting cookies/cache/history etc... no luck.
Any ideas?
ThanksHello, RedHavoc & Annette,
New developments when i attempted to sign in today this is how it worked.
Go to http://www.msn.com/ on that log in page just down from the log in box:
Windows Live ID click on what most best describes the account you have (for instance mine is Passport)
Works with Windows Live, MSN, and Microsoft Passport sites
Account Services | Privacy Statement | Terms of Use
© 2006 Microsoft Corporation.
Click "Sign In" On upper right hand corner of the page, then your are take to:
Enter email address & password, click Sign in. Bring you to MSN Account Services Home
On Upper right hand side of the page click on : MSN Home | My MSN | Hotmail | Shopping | Money | People & Chat.</b<
When you get to that page you should be able to Pick "Messenger" if that is what you use, or to My MSN, Hotmail.
Hope this works, I also did not have to enable cookies to "All" for sign out either, which was a requirement for my passport account, prior with the use of Safari.
Please let me know if this works for you.
p.s. When I look at cookies it looks as if this method creates the live.com cookiesthat must be reguired to log in along with accountsservices.msn.com accountservices.passport.net, these are all cookies that are new , i know because I would look thru & delete them, ( which i still intend to do) so this must be a way of establishing new ids for users, I presume for "Windows Live".

Link not clickable in MSN/Hotmail emails
I have a page that sends users a link to click to be
'removed' from our
registration page. In Yahoo the link shows up just fine, is
clickable, etc.
In Hotmail/MSN, no go. I've seen some pages come across in
MSN/Hotmail that
if you TRY to click the link, it asks if you want to enable
this.
How is this done?? Or how can I get my link to be enabled in
Hotmail?
I am sending the email as:
cfmail from="[email protected]" to="#Cancel.u_email#"
server="mail.sb.com"
port="25" mailerid="sb.com" subject="Withdrawl from
tournament"
failto="[email protected]" type="html" charset="utf-8">
