    @nicolaasjan Are you the one that's maintaining yt-dlp for Windows 7? If so thanks for that, it works great with the MPC-BE player and should extend the player's life when they stop supporting it on Win 7. I also didn't know how useful yt-dlp is for streaming almost every video out there until recently. Can't live without it now: https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp

    Don't feel bad, he won't respond to posts about mailnews bugs either. Guess it gets on his nerves :-)

    It's surprising that the monopolistic Microsoft hasn't been more challenged yet for its forcing people to abandon perfectly good computers in order run Windows 11. No wonder it's had a slow uptake. In my experience Windows 7 has turned out to be their best so I'm staying with it for as long as possible, even though I've got Windows 10. It improved on XP but still remained fast and configurable with its classic themes and easy ability to install third party apps.

    For those on Windows 7 is anyone using e3kskoy7wqk's nightly versions? https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Firefox-for-windows-7/releases Currently on the latest 140.0a1-v3 and it's excellent, even better than on Win10 imo. The r3dfox ESR versions are good too. Still finding many uses for these older versions as well so thanks for all of the great options.

    Roy, I know you're busy and thanks for your work but the last mailnews version I've been able to use is from 10/26/2023 because that's the last one where the Outgoing Server (SMPT) is working properly to edit the accounts. Since then it's always blank. The Hotmail accounts I gave up on since they're dead and added Gmail accounts in their place and it still works good for those, it's just a matter of restoring the Outgoing Server. I've tried starting from scratch, new profile etc. to no avail, maybe it's there and I'm missing some setting.

    Another bug with mailnews is there's no way to add or delete anything from the outgoing server because the interface won't open. Even tried with a new profile so it's something inside the program.

    Welcome to the club. My memory has been going for as long as I can remember, which isn't long, :--)

    Hotmail OAuth2 was not functional in mailnews but Roy seems to have gotten it though there's still some bugs to work out.
  9. DanR20
    Yahoo is still working fine here, did you provide Hotmail Oauth2 code as well?
  10. DanR20
    Both my accounts are getting a full screen with buttons, maybe yours is related to cookies and or javascript? Or possibly that it's regional differences that goes to the link of the sign-in page. For me normal passwords continue to work so Microsoft is probably rolling out those changes slowly instead of all at once.

    Hi Roy, What's the status with Hotmail and OAuth2? It appears to be available but when I try to get login authorization from Microsoft for the accounts, either Pop or IMAP I get this message: "You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead." So it's not possible to set it up. Or are you still working on it?
  12. DanR20
    Good find, a little later than I remember but with the coding done should make it easier for at least the possibility of a fix.

    Hate any program that automatically updates, even firefox. You can add this to the registry and update manually only: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "ManagePreviewBuilds"=dword:00000001 "ManagePreviewBuildsPolicyValue"=dword:00000000 "TargetReleaseVersion"=dword:00000001 "TargetReleaseVersionInfo"="22H2" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001

    That was back in 2020, can't believe how fast time goes, thanks for that. Maybe Sampei or another kind individual can code Hotmail for us too.
  15. DanR20
    Mozilla added OAuth2 for gmail into Thunderbird I believe in v38.0. Not sure when Hotmail was included but it may have been around v60 so whether those working on MailNews can code it into their version is the question. Yahoo had it updated in MailNews by providing a key, I forget by who but it may have been Sampei.Nihira.
