We have not tested this against Office365 but I think it should work. Can you see anything in the Umbraco log? I'll have to put this as a bug in the backlog and try to reproduce it.
At /umbraco/newsletterstudio/pages/HandleBounces.aspx (Referred by: ): System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at NewsletterStudio.Services.Mail.Pop3BounceMailConnector.Loggon() at NewsletterStudio.Services.Mail.Pop3BounceMailConnector.PullList() at NewsletterStudio.Services.Mail.Pop3BounceMailConnector.StartProcessBounces() at NewsletterStudio.Pages.HandleBounces.StartHandleBounces(ContextFacade container) at System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object o, Object t, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
Thank you for providing the code. Looks like there is something with the POP3-connection that fails. As I look in the code it seams that the connection can be establied with another port than the standard-port but there is no support for SSL at the moment.
I can not connect to their service without SSL so I just ended up installing stunnel on the server and that is able to re-direct my POP3 calls to SSL correctly.
I'll update this if it does not work fully, but I have been able to get a test connection to work. Maybe in the next release we can have a use SSL just like in the SMTP section and this will not be necessary.
The SMTP-part of the package is standard .NET-classes but (as far I a know) there are no APIs for talking to POP3-server so we ended up writing our own solution which obviously lacks support for SSL. I'm not sure which effort it will take to include this but I will honest and tell you that there are a lot of other features and bugs that have higher priority.
If you find any soltuion that you think we might include in the package - please let me know!
SSL POP3 Connections for Email Bounce Management
I have a mailbox on Office 365 that uses SSL on port 995. Can't get it to connect to the mailbox. Comes back with the following....
Any way this can work or does the pop3 support not work with SSL connections?
Could not connect. Error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Hi Chris!
We have not tested this against Office365 but I think it should work. Can you see anything in the Umbraco log? I'll have to put this as a bug in the backlog and try to reproduce it.
Here is what is in the umbracoLog

Not sure what all that means.
Hi!
Thank you for providing the code. Looks like there is something with the POP3-connection that fails. As I look in the code it seams that the connection can be establied with another port than the standard-port but there is no support for SSL at the moment.
Would it be possible to run with without SSL?
Yes, I agree it is an SSL connection issue.
I can not connect to their service without SSL so I just ended up installing stunnel on the server and that is able to re-direct my POP3 calls to SSL correctly.
I'll update this if it does not work fully, but I have been able to get a test connection to work. Maybe in the next release we can have a use SSL just like in the SMTP section and this will not be necessary.
Thanks

Hi again!
I see, smart solution! Thanks for sharing it!
The SMTP-part of the package is standard .NET-classes but (as far I a know) there are no APIs for talking to POP3-server so we ended up writing our own solution which obviously lacks support for SSL. I'm not sure which effort it will take to include this but I will honest and tell you that there are a lot of other features and bugs that have higher priority.

I know this is an old post, but has it been made possible since ?
I have a similar problem at the moment.
I was able to make it work with stunnel.
So this must be THE solution to make it work with 365.
is working on a reply...
