Re: XP user, prior version user, OAuth2 chokehold - help!

I do believe that Exchange servers may have different rules; e.g. I think that they shifted to the Oauth-required model a while ago. There is a section in the article you linked that's specific to POP3/IMAP, though it doesn't really shed any light. The part you mentioned about "also prevents th...

Re: XP user, prior version user, OAuth2 chokehold - help!

Each service will have different requirements for creating an app password. Just search for "<service> app password" and you should find it; e.g. for Outlook: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-get-and-use-app-passwords-5896ed9b-4263-e681-128a-a6f2979a7944 I'm not g...

Re: cox to yahoo PP access

It should just need to successfully check for mail. That security feature was designed pre-Oauth2, though... Email me if it still doesn't work.

Re: PP Not Working With Yahoo Mail?

If you haven't already, you should click the "reset Oauth2" link and follow the procedure to re-authenticate with Oauth2. This will happen sometimes depending on the provider and certain conditions. If it still doesn't work, it's likely a temporary issue on Yahoo's end. My Yahoo accounts a...

Re: PP Not Working With Yahoo Mail?

Because it's not necessarily a one-time thing. Google will eventually force you to re-authenticate Oauth2. Some users/accounts require it more than others.

You only need to do 2FA again if google doesn't recognize the device, it's not every time unless you don't allow it to remember.

Re: PP Not Working With Yahoo Mail?

Now they're working beautifully :-D How do I get Gmail to open in Pop Peeper normal without having to run it as administrator? You shouldn't have to run PP as admin as it is. Running as admin is only necessary when you have to go through the Oauth2 process (via webbrowser). It may not happen today,...

Re: PopPeeper ends for no apparent reason

If you're willing to help assist with the troubleshooting, please email me (support at esumsoft dot com). The fact that it crashes consistently helps a lot -- it makes it easier. Also, I'll explain how you can install v5 separately from v4 so that you can continue to use v4 and only run v5 as-needed.

Re: PP Not Working With Yahoo Mail?

The authenticator app method only works after enabling two-step verification, which requires a phone number. I double-checked this. I don't think that's correct. Here's what I get when I go to enable 2FA on one of my non-2FA'd gmail accounts: Google_2FA.png The top part says: "To turn on 2-Ste...

Re: PP Not Working With Yahoo Mail?

I think I have Brave installed somewhere, I'll test it out sometime. Brave is based on Chromium, but it's possible that it's not compatible (or the Win7 thing). I don't think 2FA requires a phone number. I'd recommend the authenticator app method if that's a possibility for you. Otherwise, the last ...

Re: PP Not Working With Yahoo Mail?

Glad you got Yahoo to work. Chrome isn't necessarily required (I use Firefox), but the webbrowser that you were trying before could be a problem. Would you mind letting me know what browser that was? As for Gmail -- gmail has more stringent requirements for their Oauth2 than the others which is why ...

Re: Hotmail/Live account not authorizing

Glad to hear it \:D/

I've said in the past that I didn't think Outlook was ready to force Oauth2. Compared to their past issues, this was fixed very quickly, so maybe that's a good sign.

Re: Hotmail/Live account not authorizing

I tried forcing one of my Outlook accounts to re-Oauth and no problems. Sounds like ata only has 1 account with a problem (and presumably others that work?) Some websites do suggest that there are problems: https://downdetector.com/status/microsoft-365/ graph suggests problems (as does the headline)...

It's probably a temporary problem on Hotmail's end, but here's a couple of things you can try: 1) Edit the account in POP Peeper and make sure that the email address and login name are the same and correct 2) Try removing POP Peeper's permissions from your Hotmail account using the following link (m...

Re: PP Not Working With Yahoo Mail?

The "[SYS/TEMP] Server error" that you're getting is very likely due to not using Oauth2. The post you referred to was specific to Outlook (not Yahoo), but in fact, Yahoo has required Oauth2 for quite some time. I tested Oauth2 on Win7 -- I had some issues but I did get it to work. I *thin...

Re: New update...now messages don't open, get "retrieving message" note

DoubleClickBanner.png I don't think this behavior has changed (at least not recently, if ever). The first double-click will show HTML, if available; the next would retrieve the entire. Or you can click the links on the right. If what PP has retrieved of the message doesn't have HTML, then the first...

Re: Feature Suggestion: Auto-minimize on empty Inbox

In that scenario, an auto-minimize when *idle* might be a more practical solution... I'll file that one away. When PP made the transition to modeless (definition below) view-message windows, there were quite a few people who felt the same way. I think it was just getting used to the new way because,...

I've heard this suggestion before and since then (and more since I read your post earlier) I've given it a lot of thought and I'll say it's very unlikely that this will be an option.

Re: Rules for moving emails to another folder from Inbox

POP Peeper Pro does have rules that allow you to filter depending on the subject; but does not (officially) have rules available based on age. The problem with rules based on age is that it means the filter has to be constantly checked at times other than when PP currently does (ie. one time: when P...
