Proxo & Hotmail

Hi all you proxo experts, I need some help please. I have had proxo for about a week & quite like it, but I have just found that it is preventing me sending mail from my Hotmail account. Can anyone tell me what setting is causing this? It is definitely proxo as I shut it down & had no problems sending.

TIA.

Hi crunchie,

I don't have a hotmail account, so this will be a shot in the dark. Do you have an entry in your CookieList for yahoo? If not, you may want to try adding

Hi. Yes, I am using the default config, or rather, I was. I am now trying the JD_basic filter set. Still having the same problem though.
I really have no clue what I am doing with proxo, so any help offered will have to be detailed please Smile

Hi crunchie,

I don't know what I was thinking, hotmail is not yahoo, doh.

From the msn main site, I clicked on hotmail, and saw a couple of cookies come thru via proxo's log window.

.hotmail.msn.com
.passport.com

Anyway, make sure your allowing cookies for these sites. For starters, just enter them into the CookieList with a leading *

Microsoft uses so many cookies that you may have to add *.msn.com
There might be other domains that you need, but since I can't login, I can't be sure.

For a simple test, you might try disabling any web or header cookie filters and see if that does the trick. If so, you can probably figure out what cookies you need to allow.

HTH
Mike

I see...

As far as your Hotmail problems - to be perfectly honest, don't even bother with configuring Proxo to work with it... Not that it can't be done, I'm sure that it can...

It's just that for "me", I've found that to use a program called 'ePrompter' for MSN/Hotmail/Yahoo/Netscape e-mail accounts is SOOO much better...

MailWasher is pretty slick also for Hotmail/MSN accounts...

The problem with not configuring proxo is that I will have to disable it every time I or my daughter wish to use Hotmail.
Mostly I use hotmailpopper for the mail to use with my Opera browser M2 mail client, but my daughter(s) mainly log in to Hotmail.
I think I may have found the solution though as I see that proxo has a bypass feature. Will try that too.
Thanx for your suggestions. Appreciate it.

Ah, that explains it perfectly...

I sometimes forget that computers are often shared across many users...

If you're not able to get it working, keep us posted...
I have a Hotmail account and will configre Proxo for it if need be - as is, I'll stick with ePrompter until you request more assistance...

Thanx again. Have solved it by using the bypass feature. Girls are happy again Smile

& that's a good thing.
