MailBot by Tavel — email accounts creator, checker and unlocker

MailBot has been updated to version 16.67.

Due to numerous customer complaints about manual and slow updating of the list of available countries of phone numbers for various phone verification providers, dynamic loading of this list via API has been implemented in MailBot.
To date, this method is available and implemented for the following APIs:

• SMS-Activate
• VAK-SMS
• 5SIM
• SMSAcktiwator (SMSI.VIP)

Outlook

Fixed:

• Unknown signup error with code 100 error in creator
• Unable to verify account error in checker/unlocker, which occurred due to unsuccessful processing of “We’re updating our terms” form
• error with code 6002 when verifying recovery email in unlocker

Yahoo/AOL.com

Fixed Unable to check account error in the checker.

MailBot has been updated to version 16.57.

This article is a continuation of the previous one, about adapting MailBot to mandatory authentication via OAuth2 for Outlook mail servers.

A new setting “Generate OAuth2 refresh token” has been added to the “Email Features” tab:

This setting currently only works for the Outlook/Hotmail module. If the checkbox is checked, the Outlook creator will generate OAuth2 tokens for accessing mail protocols after successfully creating an account, and the checker will generate them after successfully logging into an existing account.

Attention! All OAuth2 tokens are generated for ClientId 9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753, which is the ClientId of the Mozilla ThunderBird IMAP client in Outlook.

After successfully receiving OAuth2 tokens, MailBot will append a refresh token string to the end of the account string, and will also additionally save all parameters received from the OAuth2 server to a JSON file in the “oauth2” folder inside the “Accounts” folder. The file name will match the account email address. Example of the contents Read more »

MailBot has been updated to version 16.54.

Since September 20, 2024, Microsoft has almost completely disabled authentication via regular password (PLAIN method) on its IMAP, SMTP and POP3 servers, leaving only the OAuth2 option (XOAUTH2 method). As of today, only a few servers remain unpatched, and it is almost impossible to authenticate with a regular password on Outlook mail servers.

If you try to authenticate with a regular password, for example, the Outlook SMTP server will respond with this error:

535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, basic authentication is disabled.

and the Outlook IMAP server will respond with this one:

001 NO AUTHENTICATE failed.

To some extent, this also affected MailBot, since the verification of recovery emails in the program is carried out via the IMAP protocol.

In connection with this, a new setting “Authentication” appeared in the recovery email source settings window in MailBot, which is a list with two values:

• Plain password
• OAuth2

When connecting Outlook accounts as recovery emails, you now need to select only OAuth2, and the format of the recovery emails in the file should look like Read more »

Because accurate time is critical for features such as TOTP and IMAP email searching, MailBot now automatically synchronizes your local computer’s time with time.google.com during startup.

Updated context menu for the list of accounts on the “Creator” tab:

New items added:

• “Phone number only”
• “App password only”

Instead of a patchwork of changes for all email providers, which is hard to read, let’s try to break down changelogs by email provider. Please send your opinions in which form you prefer to read the changelog.

Outlook/Hotmail

Implemented adding and verifying a recovery email in the creator, in the signup mode without phone verification. Previously, this was implemented only in the unlocker.

Verifying a phone number to enable SMTP is not necessary now, verifying the recovery email gives the same trust to the account as verifying the phone.

During the process two letters with confirmation codes are received on the recovery email, this is normal.

Creation of aliases is implemented in Outlook creator, checker and unlocker.

Attention! To create aliases in your Outlook account, it must has verified recovery email!

Attention! Outlook now allows you to create only 2 account aliases and only on the outlook.com domain!

The checker now is able to create Outlook mailboxes for Microsoft accounts created via phone number:

This allows you to finish creation of mailboxes for accounts in format +380983524927:V5p9axnJc, which were previously saved in “partially created” files.

When creating accounts via phone number, creator now updates Read more »
