Update from 07/31/2024: Passing a proxy to solve FunCAPTCHA on Outlook is required again, if Telegram bot answers {"status":"UPDATING"}!

Update from 06/19/2024: Passing a proxy to solve FunCAPTCHA on Outlook is no longer required!

Many users have already noticed that, starting from Thursday, May 23, the percentage of incorrectly solved FunCAPTCHAs for Outlook began to grow rapidly across all CAPTCHA solving services, gradually increasing from ~40% to 100%. Over the weekend, the administrations of three of the four up-to-date FunCAPTCHA solution services for Outlook came to the conclusion that it is no longer possible to obtain valid solutions without passing the proxy, which is used to register an account, to the API of the CAPTCHA solution service. It is now necessary to transfer a proxy so that the IP address from which the FunCAPTCHA was solved on the service matches the IP address from which the registration request originates. This is not a new requirement, it has already been encountered before and MailBot has had a setting for this for a long time. It is located in the CAPTCHA service account settings on the “CAPTCHA” tab and is called “Pass the proxy for Arkose Labs (FunCAPTCHA)”:

Attention! There have been important changes to the MailBot usage policy!

Please read the updated text of the MailBot license agreement.

What changed:

  • binding (issuing a new serial number) MailBot to additional computers will now cost 15% of the license price

For example, you need to work with MailBot on both your home computer and the server, and you only need the Outlook (Hotmail) module. Now it will cost $111.55 ($97 + $14.55) instead of $97.

What hasn’t changed:

  • rebinding (replacing the serial number) remains free of charge provided that you provide an active serial number that will no longer be used, regardless of whether the hardware on the current computer has changed or the program is transferred to a new one
  • all existing licenses and serial numbers remain active
  • there is no limit on the number of running MailBot instances on a single computer

I apologize to all customers who submitted rebinding requests over the past weekend, but it is no longer possible to continue issuing free new serial numbers.
