Hotmail: No messages or error -20/-31 (v3.7.0.4)
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2011 5:16 pm
Hotmail appears to be rolling in some changes and these changes create different issues for different accounts. For some accounts, POP Peeper may think there are 0 messages and not report an error. In other cases, POP Peeper may report a -20 error or -31. Other accounts are not affected at all.
If your account is reporting an error (-20 or -31), a temporary solution may be to set your options so that it only retrieves the first inbox page (related to error -20) AND set it to retrieve headers-only (related to error -31). Attempts to retrieve a message will result in an error, but you should at least be able to see the header information.
I am currently working on a fix; unfortunately, it seems that just about every functionality is affected (retrieving, deleting, folders, etc). I am making progress and I expect a fix to be available later today.
