EDIT: It seems to continue to work wonderfully for me. I did have to go through the "special" installation procedure outlined in the readme, because I did get the error on my first try. But after that, sweetness! 🙂
EDIT2: And, in hindsight, after a week of not checking my Hotmail account, I have zilch but spam. *wonders why he bothers* 🙄
To be honest, a lot of the spam I get on Hotmail is opt-in. I let stuff like Apple News, TigerDirect, etc, go there, and it goes straight to el junk mail folder anyway, so why not? I got the account originally via Hotmail Japan to use with a Japanese friend (with whom I've lost touch), and so I don't use mine much anymore....
