1. This client can only use @hotmail.com
emails by design. A workaround so you can login with usernames will be implemented in the future.
2. These clients do not use secure login; support for them needs to be manually enabled when making your account. We recommend using a throwaway password for these clients.
3. These clients do not work on Windows XP/Vista out of the box and require extra steps. This is because XP is incompatible with our TLS setup by default, and Vista uses expired root certificates. Refer to the FAQ for a fix.
