I know is the bat the problem, cause I use a mac too, and the mac configured it autoMACticaly and it worked right away. I also created a brand new account and it dose not work. THe error message: Could not connect to the server Home edition.

Settings are the same except for Connection is Secure to dedicated port (TLS) send and receive. With port of 587 for sending mail. Surprise surprise it works both send and receive. Oh yes and user name of your user name@hotmail.com. Hope this helps.

Hi, I had problems recently with Hotmail (outlook.com) and followed the instructions in the thread in this forum. I would suggest that since this is a sticky, the directions be posted here (since that thread will eventually scroll to page 2), in simple terms and for the most popular versions of The Bat!. For example, I'm on The Bat! Pro 4.0.38 and I'm not sure I did everything right (the instructions are for v6).

Also, since there was a recent problem with Yahoo servers, and I just discovered my Yahoo account hasn't been accessed from The Bat!, I suggest a sticky with instructions on the changes required for the new Yahoo server settings.

Thanks!

I too am having trouble getting Hotmail (Outlook now) to work in the Bat. I'm running Pro v4.0.20. The error log reports:
SEND - sending mail message(s) - 1 message(s) in queue
SEND - Initiating TLS handshake
SEND - TLS protocol error: Unexpected message SessionUnknownContentType ct (50).
SEND - connection finished - 0 message(s) sent
SEND - Some messages were not sent - check the log for details

I've tried various combinations from the advice given here and nothing works. I've also sorted out the Outlook file online to enable POP access. I'm using the information given by Microsoft, but they don't always speak the same language that RitLabs uses. All advice appreciated.

My earlier post might be down to this from the Bat error log:

Microsoft are known to let certificates expire, but I don't know whether this is The Bat or Outlook online. If it is The Bat I can find no means to get the program to ignore these useless certificates.Anyone any ideas?

The answer is elsewhere in this forum Niamh Edited: Niamh Holding - 06 March 2014 10:17:36 (Updated information)

Is there another new problem with Hotmail? I haven't been able to connect since May 5, though I can see through Firefox that email has been coming in. I didn't make any changes to my configuration, I have:

Protocol: POP3
Mail server: pop-mail.outlook.com
Authentication: Regular
User: [myname]@hotmail.com
Password: [rekeyed it several times to make sure it was right]
Connection: TLS
Port: 995

which was working fine before.

I guess this is the last time it worked:

Thanks!
