    A problem with Dream Mail reading mail from MSN


    I don't know how to get Dream Mail to read the incoming mail from MSN. Dream Mail will send a test feed out to my MSN box and I can read the test feed via Firefox, yes I can get into my MSN account via Firefox. But Dream Mail rejects the password for MSN that I use on Firefox. As far as I know the password for MSN should be the same for MSN in both Firefox and Dream Mail. The servers, port numbers and encryption on Dream Mail for MSN are correct. BTW The same Dream Mail is working 100% on Gmail.com.

    You may need an app specific password within the email client which is used instead of the account password.

    You would log on to your MSN account online & go to security>Advanced security options & scroll down to App Passwords & click on create a new app password.

    Is there any error message?
    Do other email clients work with the MSN account?
    Are you using IMAP or POP for the incoming servers?
