Just found out that the little brilliant plug-in to get hotmail in mail doesn't work anymore after the update! Any ideas? 
Got a tip for us?

HTTP mail doesn't work after 10.5.3

Neither do I, seems to work for me. I think httpmail is about to become abandonware given what MS is doing to hotmail.

This was added yesterday on macupdate's HTTPMAIL download page:
"If you have a Hotmail Plus account you should still be able to access your mail using the POP3 protocol. The details for setting up POP3 access is as follows.
Incoming mail server: pop3.live.com (port 995)
Outgoing mail server: smtp.live.com (port 25)
Username: your full hotmail email address
NOTE: the outgoing mail server requires authentication (Version 1.51)"
I cant get it to work... Anyone can?
Cheers,

Painful maybe, but like the rest of us who have been "bitten" on the *** by MS, switch to GMail. I did and have never regretted it.

Worked fine for me. Need to have a premium/hotmail plus account. I think I had to add another account with the existing hotmail address using the mail servers given and then it was all fine.This was added yesterday on macupdate's HTTPMAIL download page:

Yeah, I have a paid account too but cant seem to get it to work...
Arg, I need this! Any tips you can share? Thanks,
did you re-add your account? make sure the port numbers are the same and ssl is on. not sure whether i did anything special. it just worked.
This is weird.. I have a paid account and it is not working for me either...... After I tried this:
IIRC they should be the default port numbers.
Did you set it up from the begining as a POP account? or are you trying to convert a HTTPMAIL account? If it is the later you have to create a new account as POP.
To change/verfiy the ports
Incoming
Mail - Accounts - Hotmail accounts - Advanced.
Outgoing
Mail Accounts - Hotmail accounts - Account Information - Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - Edit Server List - Select the Hotmail server - Advanced.

I understand that 10.5.3 breaks httpmail
but if I upgrade to 10.5.3, will all my Hotmail messages in Mail from before 10.5.3 still be visible, or will they be deleted.
I have switched to GMail, so Im fine with not being able to send/receive Hotmail anymore, but Id still like all my old messages to be viewable/searchable
TIA

What I'd recommend that you do, just to be safe, is to copy all your Hotmail messages to a folder stored locally on your Mac, then upgrade.
would I be able to import those messages to Mail even if I deleted the plug-in? Just to be able to read and search them.
That's why I suggested storing them locally, at least temporarily. You can always copy them to GMail later (if you're using IMAP), so they stay on the server but can still be searched, as you desire. No need to import or anything like that.
Too bad. I like to keep my hotmail account if I had to sign up for things and my Gmail, a nice, clean, account for friends and family only. It was very convenient to use HTTPmail to sync the junk, and maybe the odd important hotmail into my mail account. Nice to see Microsoft is using a new, undocumented, proprietary system to mess things up for us.
Hi All,

Help! Deleted messages!!
When I was trying to figure out what was going on with my hotmail account i had the bright idea of deleting the account and then re-adding it. NOT BRIGHT. When I login to my hotmail account via Safari, all of the messages that I stored in mailboxes that I created in Mail for my hotmail account are gone!!! Does anyone know how or if I can get those emails back??

did you keep the emails on the server or delete them when you opened it in mail?? if they are still accessible at hotmail.com you should be able to get them back again. if they are not on server, i don't know sorry.
re-import using:
under mail file menu -> import mailboxes -> Mail for Mac osx
-> user -> your name -> library -> mail -> httpmail inbox.
Should work,

Thanks so much! I think this is the closest I'll ever get! a couple of my mailboxes were in there - the ones created automatically by Mail (e.g. sent folder etc), so I think I'm going to salvage what I can out of that. Thank you!
