BkHotmail is
a small plugin for Becky! users only that allows you to check your
Hotmail account e-mail from within Becky!.
Unlike
standard mail accounts which allow users to retrieve their e-mail
through a POP mail client, Hotmail can normally only be checked
on
the web.
This guide shows you how to get SpamPal to work with BkHotmail,
which should give you spam free access to your hotmail account!

By default
SpamPal will use a POP3 port to access
your email (port 110) and the
default BkHotmail settings will use port
6110 to access Hotmail,
so you shouldn't actually need to configure any settings in BkHotmail.
However, should you need to you can access the BkHotmail settings,
by going to Tools, Plug-ins
Setup and then selecting the
Becky! Hotmail plug-in: |

You
now need to configure your email program, to use Hotmail Popper and
SpamPal, in this example, we'll just configure the POP3 protocol and
assume your hotmail email address is: myaddr@hotmail.com
So, make sure your POP3 (Mail) Server is
set to: 127.0.0.1
Now, change your User
ID to this format:
myaddr@hotmail.com@127.0.0.1:6110
Password : your_hotmail_password
So, you should now have something that looks like this screen: |
|
|
Following
this change, your email program, talks to SpamPal on it's normal pop3
port 110.
SpamPal then receives a request to talk to 127.0.0.1
on port 6110 (which is BkHotmail).
As BkHotmail is looking at port 6110,
it sees SpamPal's request forwards it onto Hotmail's sever. |
