WLM not working with Lycos HTTP Email Server

Hello Newsgroup,

I just recently switched to WLM and also imported all accounts that have
been configured in OE 6.
All accountinformation imported seemingly well, however, I'm unable to
synchromize my Lycos email account.
When I try to manualy start synchronisation, the following error is thrown:

--------------------------------------------
Es konnten keine Nachrichten für das Konto Webindian (Lycos) gesendet oder
empfangen werden. Der Vorgang wurde abgebrochen.

Serverfehler: 0x80004004
Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail-Fehlernummer: 0x80004004
--------------------------------------------

(Since I'm using German OS, the error obviously is also German...

Lycos uses this URL for the connection: http://webdav.lycos.de/httpmail.asp

Of course, I contacted MS Live Mail Support regarding this issue, however,
no response so far :-(

BTW, synch'ing with OE6 works perfectly well with the very same
credentials...

Any suggestion, comment, hint is very much appreciated.

You're getting the error because the default HTTP setup in WLMail uses
Hotmail's new DeltaSync protocol for synchronization, while it looks like
Lycos.de is using Webdav. I don't know whether WLMail works with WebDav, but
it's worth trying. From Lycos support
(http://secure.mail.lycos.de/app/help...r.jsp?id=163):
Folgende Einstellungen sind erforderlich:
Posteingangsserver ist ein HTTP-Server
HTTP-Mail Dienstanbieter: "Andere"
Adresse: http://webdav.lycos.de/httpmail.asp
Nutzername: Ihre vollständige E-Mail Adresse (ihrName@xxxxxx)
Passwort: Ihr Lycos Passwort
So, right-click on the account in the Folder pane, select Properties and put
in these details. If it still doesn't work, delete the account, close down
and reopen WLMail, then set up the account again. Choose the "Manually
configure server settings..." option.

Noel,
thank you for your suggestion. It really would be useful, however, WLM
doesn't provide an option to set the server type of an http server.
This is the difference between OE6 and WLM and probably the cause, why it
didn't work after the import...

BTW, still no answer from MS regarding this issue... :-(

Sorry, Peter, I can't tell from your reply whether you got this working or
not.
You can specify the server name on the Server tab of the Properties sheet
for the Lycos account. The fact that WLMail uses DeltaSync as its default
format for HTTP mail doesn't mean that other protocols aren't supported; in
fact, I think that some users have had success accessing Hotmail through the
DAV protocol as used by MSN's HTTPMail.
What answer are you waiting for from MS?

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I couldn't find an option to change the
protocol in the properties of this account. I even deleted it and started
from scratch...
But still I didn't see any option to set the protocol. In Outlook Express 6
this option was available.
Since also the import of settings into WLM didn't work, I assume, that this
setting isn't available any more.

Thank you for your feedback.

Happy New Year.

Thanks, mae. I thought I'd read that somewhere, but couldn't unearth it when
I looked. So, Peter, sorry to send you on a wild goose chase. It looks like
you'll have to use something like FreePops ( http://freepops.org/en ) to
access your Lycos mail in WLMail. It works perfectly for me to get both
Hotmail and Yahoo, and as far as I can see lycos.de is supported out of the
box.

Dear mae, dear Noel,

Thank you both for your efforts in helping me with that issue.
So to recap: MS stopped supporting WebDav with WLM and that's the reason,
why I can't synch with Lycos :-(
That's really a pity, because I like the layout and the way WLM works.
Maybe, with a future release, MS will reconsider this decision. Till then, I
will rather use OE6 instead...

Thank you again and have a great and prosperous New Year!

Peter

To whom it may concern.

Latest update on this issue...:

According to Microsoft, Hotmail will discontinue supporting webdav, so you
HAVE TO switch to WLM if you want to access your hotmail account. OE6 will be
no longer supported for accesssing your hotmail account. So if you have (as I
do) both a hotmail and a Lycos Email account, you are forced to use two
different email clients.
