I've had the httpmail extension working since I switched to mac in Jan, and after this huge os update, it is no longer working, and I can't seem to figure out why or how to get it back. no other mail is affected but my hotmail account. I have a grandfathered in hotmail account from the early nineties, so I know it's not on hotmails end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome!

If you recently updated to 10.5.3. I would start by repairing permissions with Disk Utility. (applications/utilities)

Download OnyX (if you don't have it) Run the maintenance scripts, clear caches, etc.. You can also look for corrupt preference files, too. (if any are found, you can delete them)

A little maintenance after big updates usually will solve some problems.

keep an eye on the developer's blog to see if he mentions 10.5.3 breaking httpmail

http://blog.danielparnell.com/

also note that he says that the plugin is going to stop working as of June 30th... this might be a good time to switch to GMail (I just did after using httpmail for a few years)

edit: in the comments of the latest post, a couple other people say that 10.5.3 broke httpmail... looks like you're out of luck until the developer fixes it

I use hotmail as a spam catcher whenever I register at a website I use that e-mail.

Btw, maybe a related issue...

I've had a MacBook since November, and I use Mail for my account at Gmail, but I haven't (ever) got it to work with my account at Hotmail. Anyone know what to do? :p
I've also upgraded to 10.5.3, but I couldn't get my Hotmail to work in Mail before that either.
