It appears that microsoft hase substantially changed the login screen. I am less than a newbie, but have looked into the problem. It appears that the "Form" which Mr. Postman looks for no longer exists on the HTML of the login page.
Here is a snip of the postman log:
"org.mrbook.mrpostman.generic.GenericParser","GenericParser","executeLine","5:34:02 PM","FINER","./hotmail.script (77): Parsing '#--- on the resulting page is a form, which is normally automatically
submitted by javascript'",
"org.mrbook.mrpostman.generic.GenericParser","GenericParser","executeLine","5:34:02 PM","FINER","./hotmail.script (78): Parsing 'found,action,form =
match(page,""<form[^>]*\saction=\""([^\""]*)\""[^>]*>(.*?)</form>"")'",
"org.mrbook.mrpostman.generic.GenericRobot","GenericRobot","match","5:34:02 PM","FINE","./hotmail.script: No match for '<form[^>]*\saction=""([^""]*)""[^>]*>(.*?)</form>'",
"org.mrbook.mrpostman.generic.GenericParser","GenericParser","executeLine","5:34:02 PM","FINEST","./hotmail.script (78): found = false",
I tried to read and understand the html on the login page, but there is hardly anything there. I do not understand how the "form" request needs to be changed to meet the new submission requirements. It's clear that the parser collects all the URL redirects and all the data, but when it can't find the "form" it fails.
I would attach the full log of the one session attempt that i completed, but even logged into sourceforge, I can't upload an attachment.
************************************
Does anyone reading this know anything about javascript and submitting forms? If so, we can maybe figure this out.
Mr. postman uses a script to parse and search the hotmail page for the login form. The postman code that does this is above.
The html on the hotmail page looks like this:

I don't understand javascript or how form information is submitted, but I figured out that the postman script is unable to find the old "form" information.
IF anyone reading this can offer some ideas, maybe we can fix the postman script to work.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Apparently the old page is still there if you use the right uri parameters.
When I modified the hotmail.script, this seem to work for me:
- status,page,headers = get("http://www.hotmail.com")
+ status,page,headers = get("http://login.live.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail")
I hope this helps anyone.

The patch found by "nobody" at 2007-08-24 12:49
works also for me !
If someone with sufficient privilleges can update the script from cvs.
Everyone could benefit from it. The path in cvs is:
/mrpostman/install/hotmail.script
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The helpful script change noted above worked for awhile. However, a few days ago, Microsoft altered their web pages again. In so doing, the code in the hotmail.script no longer finds the various hotmail links because the web pages have changed. (I had to comment out the "setfollowredirects(false)" command that immediately follows the command 'setcookiemode("COMPATIBILITY")') in order for the script to get to the inbox page. Nevertheless, I have not had time to change the rest of the script to get it to function properly.

Same here.
Apparently they are still beta testing there so any changes we make might break at any time.
What I found was this. I have a few hotmail accounts and I upgraded with some of them.
The ones I upgraded no longer work. The old unmodified ones still work. It has something to do with the content of the new pages.
That being said, I haven't had a chance to look at the debug output yet so it might not be too difficult to analyse.
It looks like the new pages are completely different though and a check needs to be made to see what version of the mailbox is being used.
My old account still only has 1G of space, but I don't need more right now so ...
What ever happened to the original maintainers of this program? Is there a beter tool for doing this out there somewhere?
