MailBot has been updated to version 16.54.

OAuth2 logo

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 »

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.

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

MailBot account creator updated to version 12.96.

Account creator and checker of Ukrainian email provider UKR.NET was implemented.

There is 1 domain @ukr.net and active IMAP and SMTP access at your service.

UKR.NET requires the creation of a separate password for IMAP / SMTP access, so if the activation of mail protocols is enabled on the “Accounts” tab, you must also check the “Less secure apps password” box on the “Export” tab. UKR.NET checker can also create a LSA password for existing accounts.

UKR.NET requires mandatory phone verification for all new accounts. Only Ukrainian phone numbers are accepted! Separate service “UKR.NET” is available for Ukrainian phone numbers on SMS-Activate and SMSHUB.org for 6 RUB, SMS-Man.com for 8.1 RUB and OnlineSIM.ru for 5 RUB.
