My Browser Builds (Part 5)

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. -

Yahoo is still working fine here, did you provide Hotmail Oauth2 code as well? -

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? -

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. -

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. -

Any answer for this? Well for now at least it doesn't matter since normal password is still working as usual. Microsoft is never on time with their threats so who knows how much longer it will go before they finally pull the plug. -

Today Microsoft sent a message that by September 16th all Hotmail accounts must use OAuth2. I've tried setting mailnews up with IMAP (pop accounts don't have the OAuth2 option for Hotmail) but mailnews says it doesn't support that authentication method. Is there anything that can be done to fix this otherwise Hotmail accounts will no longer be available? -

Twitter/x works very well for me with Serpent 55.0. In about:config I added this string: general.useragent.override.x.com Then overrode with this user agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0 Serpent 52 same thing but it doesn't render as well as 55.0, which is has become far better overall than the older version. -

Normal password won't last so with Thunderbird 115.0 I already moved my accounts to OAuth2. That protocol is available in pop accounts so it's easier to just do it now and get it over with. With mailnews I'll hold off as long as possible unless Roy can add OAuth2 to pop as well. Much prefer that to IMAP.
