How to get emails from Windows Live Hotmail

Question

Hi,
Don't tell me I didn't read the FAQ, I know they talk about that but apparently this FAQ is older than my grandmother, links don't work anymore or when they do, the applications are no longer maintained.
Plus pop3 should work now with Windows Live Hotmail.
Anyway, when I try, the authentication is ok, but I get an exception saying that my mailbox is not available or something like that (I can give you the exact message when I am back on Eclipse).
My code works for gmail, yahoo, and other simple webmails.
So, today, at the end of 2008, is there someone who is able to read his Windows Live Hotmail emails thanks to Javamail (or any other Java API)?
Thank you very much!

Answer 1

Hi,
In the FAQ, for the question "Can I use JavaMail to read mail from my web mail account (such as Yahoo or Hotmail)?", these links don't work: "JHTTPMail project" and "http://mrbook.org/mrpostman/"
About my code, here is what I get when I test:
DEBUG: setDebug: JavaMail version 1.4ea
DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[STORE,pop3,com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Store,Sun Microsystems, Inc]
DEBUG POP3: connecting to host "pop3.live.com", port 995, isSSL false
S: +OK BLU0-POP18 POP3 Server ready
C: USER [email protected]
S: +OK
C: PASS xxxxx
S: -ERR mailbox for [email protected] is not available
C: QUIT
javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: mailbox for [email protected] is not available
     at com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Store.protocolConnect(POP3Store.java:146)
     at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:275)
(etc.)
