    Hi,

    I've been using the plugin fine for ages, but just recently when I go to send an email I get an error message from hotmail saying I need to visit hotmail.msn.com and once there, I am asked to identify a set of squiggly security characters. It never asks me this when I get mail, only when sending. And after I identify the characters, I can send one email, but once I go to send a second the same problem crops up.

    Any ideas anyone? I've tried to get onto to hotmail about it, but they won't get back to me.

    Rick.

      I can only confirm I'm having the same problems with hotmail.

      I think M$ is enforcing their subscription program, and thus enacting security tricks to obstabcle any "automated" client.

      Actually only humans should be able to identify what you call the "squiggly" secuirity charachters. So the plugin cannot work anymore with this setup from m$.

      Please let me know if you find any workaround, but i am afraid I'll have to pay for my mailbox's ransom...
