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

MailBot has been updated to version 15.47.

Outlook/Hotmail

Microsoft’s landing page is skipped now in creator and checker when receiving sign up and sign in forms.

This gave the following bonuses:

  1. The speed of work has increased, because Microsoft server that served the landing page couldn’t handle the load on September 13 and often went down, which led to EIdReadTimeout errors.
  2. Internet traffic consumption has decreased, since the landing page is almost 150 KB in size.
  3. Eliminated EFormURLNotFound errors at the stage of receiving sign up and sign in forms.

Fixed the problem of receiving two identical codes in a row from verification emails when adding a recovery email to an account if Rambler mailboxes are used as recovery emails.

Inbox.lv

Verification of the recovery email when creating an account has been implemented:

Verified recovery email in Inbox.lv account

Attention! If the “Verify recovery email” checkbox on the “Recovery email” tab in MailBot is not checked, then accounts Read more »

Some information about the service:

  • able to solve FunCAPTCHA without passing a proxy, as well as reCAPTCHA Enterprise, etc.
  • balance top-up is only in Chinese yuan and only via WeChat/Alipay and no, I don’t know how to top up outside from China
  • the balance is kept in POINTS, ¥ 1 = $ 0.15 = 1000 POINTS, one FunCAPTCHA for Outlook costs 30 POINTS, i.е. the price for 1000 solutions is $ 4.5

AKE.net proxy provider API has been updated to the second version. Now MailBot can also receive your account balance.

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.
