hello, I do not know if I'm in the right place, but I will still try to ask my problem.
I have trouble setting my alarm for email, I can not remove the error.
ERR can not connect to POP server, connect error 10060.
Thank you for your help :wink:

If you use encryption (SSL) then it will fail due to an old version of SSL implemented. Sorry, this won't be fixed anytime soon either.

If you're not using SSL, please give us a bit more information.

thank you for your response,
your answer would think that this dock was no use for now? :?
I have not entered the SSL protocol, but POP3 and IMAP, but changing the port is not supported?
For hotmail server = live.com, type the POP3 server port 110 Automatic
type of IMAP server port 143 Automatic

Unfortunately hotmail requires SSL encryption.
SSL is not a protocol for receiving/sending emails purely, it is a protocol to encrypt HTTP, POP3 and IMAP (as well as other protocols) which is more than just changing a port.
The reason that SSL is not available is due to the fact that SSL v2 was implemented but due to some flaws is quite unpopular nowadays and has been replaced by SSL v3. Implementing SSL v3 is a lot more work for one feature, which is why it hasn't been done yet. Keep in mind that there are a lot of applications available for such purposes already and that there is a large to-do list already...

Sorry to disappoint you but yeah, you can't use the email checker feature of Winstep currently.

Just a small correction to this: you certainly *can*, just not with email servers that require encryption (SSL/TLS) - this unfortunately includes Gmail, Hotmail, etc...
