User Guide — Hotmail & Outlook
About this tool
Use Hotmail & Outlook to read messages for accounts you own or are authorized to manage. Select an account in Accounts, then select a subject to display its message. Retrieval covers the folders and message limits configured for this reader; it is not a full mailbox backup.
1. Prepare your input
Paste one account per line, without a header. Blank lines are ignored. Use one separator consistently within each row. Field values must not contain the chosen separator; quoted CSV fields are not parsed. The recovery email is optional and must contain @. Use the accepted field orders below.
Accepted account formats
email|password|refresh_token|client_id
email|password|recovery_email|refresh_token|client_id
email,password,refresh_token,client_id
email,password,recovery_email,refresh_token,client_idField definitions
email: the Microsoft account address. password: the account password field. recovery_email: an optional recovery address, placed immediately after the password. refresh_token: the existing OAuth refresh token. client_id: the application client ID associated with that token; use a valid Microsoft application ID. Do not substitute an access token for a refresh token.
Separator details
Readers accept pipes (|) or commas (,). A trailing separator is optional. Password-only rows are not sufficient: a non-empty refresh token and client ID are required. Keep exactly the documented fields; do not append notes or labels.
Example placeholders — replace before running
user@example.com|YOUR_PASSWORD|YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN|YOUR_CLIENT_ID2. Enter your API key
Enter a valid MailOld API key with sufficient quota. Double-click the key field to show or hide it. The browser saves the key when you leave the field; clear it and leave the field to remove the saved value. Keep the key and account data private.
3. Choose a connection
This reader currently uses Proxy. Enter private proxies, or leave the list empty to request shared proxies if your API key has permission. Direct is not currently available in this reader.
Accepted proxy formats — one per line
ip:port
ip:port:username:passwordProxy notes
Use a reachable proxy with the correct credentials. Do not add a URL scheme, comments or extra separators. Private proxies are checked before processing; unavailable proxies are excluded. Shared proxy availability and access depend on your API key.
4. Start and review results
Click Read emails. Watch Processed, Success and Errors. A successfully read account can have an empty mailbox. Choose an account, then a subject. Download .txt exports the account list or failed-account list from the current tab. Stop cancels the run; results already received remain visible.
Troubleshooting
Check field order, token/client ID pairing, API key quota and proxy connectivity. A revoked or expired refresh token can require signing in again through Microsoft. Complete Microsoft verification or consent on the official Microsoft page. If the service is busy, wait before retrying. Avoid repeatedly submitting the same failing account.
Protect your data
The browser can retain accounts, API keys, proxies and connection settings. Results and downloads may contain passwords and tokens. Use a trusted device, restrict access to exported files, and clear site data when finished on a shared device. See Privacy Policy for server processing details.
