MailBot has been updated to version 17.98.

Starting around October 8th, Outlook disabled POP/IMAP activation for all new accounts at the administrator level of the Microsoft Exchange server that hosts Outlook email!

Important! This restriction expires two days after account creation.

You won’t be able to activate POP/IMAP in a newly created Outlook account, even if you create it manually in a browser, confirm your recovery email, and enable the “POP” and “IMAP” switches in the “Forwarding and IMAP” section of your account settings:

The switches will be drawn as enabled, but any HTTP requests that are sent will receive a 500 Internal Server Error response from the server with the following error JSON:

{

    "ExceptionName": "OwaInvalidOperationException",
    "FaultMessage": null,
    "IsTransient": false,
    "ResponseCode": "ErrorInternalServerError"

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:
