MailBot has been updated to version 17.21.

It is a well-known fact that for access via IMAP/POP3/SMTP to Yahoo/AOL accounts, you have long been required to create an application password, and for new accounts this function is disabled by Yahoo until 14 days have passed since the account was created. Even if you try to create such a password manually in the browser on an account less than 14 days old, you will get the error “Sorry, this feature is not available right now!”.

Of course, you can create an application password with the MailBot checker after 14 days, but this creates great inconvenience. But a solution has been found, and it is OAuth. Using the OAuth refresh token, which can now be generated by the Yahoo creator and checker in MailBot, you can access Yahoo accounts via IMAP/POP3/SMTP immediately after creating an account!

Everything works the same as for Outlook, just the “Generate OAuth2 refresh token” checkbox on the “Email features” tab is now available for Yahoo as well.

OAuth2 refresh token for Yahoo account looks like this:

By the way, to prevent the Yahoo creator from throwing up errors about the impossibility of creating an application password after creating an account, you can run MailBot with the following command line options:

MailBot.exe /apppass:off /POP3:off /IMAP:off /SMTP:off

MailBot has been updated to version 17.2.

The “GMX.fr” provider in MailBot has been renamed to “GMX Europe”.

It also now supports two new domains: gmx.co.uk and gmx.es.

The price of the provider has increased from $67 to $97.

Outlook

Handling of the error HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable with the text Our services aren't available right now is implemented in the account creator.

Fixed:

  • unlocking accounts with a /recover lock type, where password change is required after completing SMS verification
  • fingerprint generation in checker/unlocker
  • country code transfer for United Kingdom in unlocker

Yahoo/AOL.com

Creators now successfully differentiate between invalid CAPTCHA code (ECAPTCHAWrongCode) and already used phone number (EEmailAPIPhoneUsedNumber) errors, rather than always generating EEmailAPIPhoneUsedNumber. This allows to diagnose problems with the reCAPTCHA Enterprise solution used by Yahoo/AOL.

If you are constantly getting ECAPTCHAWrongCode errors when creating Yahoo/AOL accounts, you need to Read more »

3 new domains are at your service:

The update, as always, is completely free for users of the full version of MailBot. Other customers, as always, can additionally purchase the GMX.fr creator and checker with a 50% discount (the price with the discount can be calculated here).

MailBot has been updated to version 16.67.

To date, this method is available and implemented for the following APIs:

Outlook

  • Unknown signup error with code 100 error in creator

MailBot has been updated to version 15.68.

Outlook/Hotmail

Activation of two-factor authentication (2FA) in accounts via TOTP has been implemented. After successful activation, a secret key will be stored along with the account data, which has the following form: 3hmkerjjj6cw7kfi3

It is absolutely not necessary to use the Microsoft/Google Authenticator app to get the code from this key, on the “Email features” tab in MailBot there is a completely similar code generator, which opens by clicking on the “TOTP…” button.

Without a secret key, it will still be possible to get into the account using, for example, a recovery email, in this case you need to click on the “Sign in another way” link on this form:

Prompt for TOTP code when logging into Outlook account with two-factor authentication enabled

Despite this, it is strongly not recommended to uncheck the “OTP secret key” box on the “Export” tab, since TOTP is the fastest and most stable confirmation method.

The checker can now also bypass 2FA via TOTP if the account string has a secret key. If there is no secret key, but there is a recovery email with a password, the checker will still be able to authorize in the account by receiving an email with a confirmation code.

Attention! So far 2FA activation is implemented only after adding a recovery email to the account. Activation after phone number verification is planned in the next versions of MailBot.

Attention! After enabling 2FA in your account, it becomes possible to authorize via POP3/IMAP/SMTP only with app password, so this password is created automatically and saved along with the account data.

The application password looks like this: lbtmyfqaycrgsvxn
