MailBot has been updated to version 16.93.

Implemented GMX.fr account creator and checker.

The new service is located in the “European” subtab of the “Provider” tab.

3 new domains are at your service:

  • gmx.fr
  • caramail.fr
  • caramail.com

as well as active access via IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.

To create a GMX.fr account, you need to solve one reCAPTCHA v2. For optional activation of email protocols, you need to solve a regular image CAPTCHA:

The update, as always, is completely free for users of the full version of MailBot. Other customers, as always, can additionally purchase the GMX.fr creator and checker with a 50% discount (the price with the discount can be calculated here). If you do not yet have a MailBot license, purchasing the GMX.fr module separately will cost $67.

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 »
