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 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:

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

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

MailBot has been updated to version 15.33.

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:

"Add your email" form when logging into an Outlook account 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.
