How to use Windows Mail for AOL email accounts.

I am posting this because I have had a nightmare setting up AOL email to work on Windows Mail with Windows Vista. I had errors and few resources to fix them so here's how to do it correctly and possibly on versions of Outlook / Outlook Express too...
  1. Open Windows Mail.
  2. Cancel any pop ups that appear.
  3. In the toolbar choose "Tools", then "Accounts..."
  4. Click "Add" and choose "E-mail Account" then click next
  5. As instructed enter your name eg. "John Smith" click next
  6. Enter your AOL email address eg. "johnsmith@aol.com" (no spaces),click next
  7. In the box "incoming e-mail server type" choose IMAP
  8. In the incoming mail server box enter: imap.aol.com
  9. In the incoming mail server box enter: smtp.aol.com
  10. Check the box "Outgoing server requires authentication", Click Next
  11. Now in the relevant boxes enter your full email address eg. johnsmith@aol.com (again) and below it your password, Click Next
  12. Check the box "Do not download my e-mail folders at this time" and click Finish
  13. Now on your accounts page you should see under mail "imap.aol.com" with your email address below it, double click on it.
  14. Now select the "Advanced" tab...
  15. Change the "Outgoing Mail (SMTP)" port to 587
  16. Now check the box below (Requires SSL)
  17. Change the "Incoming Mail (IMAP)" port to 993
  18. Again check the box below (Requires SSL)
  19. At the bottom of the page click "Apply" then OK.
  20. Now close the Internet Accounts page and click OK to download folders...
Your AOL e-mail account should now be fully functioning, if you need further help use Google! LOL.

Cheat at Facebook Dope Wars

Cheat at Facebook Dope Wars

Introduction

Have you ever wanted to play Dope Wars (the Facebook game) and not have to sit at your computer laboriously buying and selling
virtual drugs, for no real reason? The game is hopelessly repetitive and makes absolutely no sense to play - there simply isn't
enough content.

Lucky for you...

There is a way. Using a fake browser that acts as the real thing, and accessing it from a programming language called Python,

we can log into Facebook and automate the whole process. This program will buy or sell ST8 Drop,
searching all of the regions for the best deal. It will buy only if you stand to make over $1000 per bag.

Before you start

  • Note: This script searches all regions for best prices. You must have the private jet to use this script.

  • Furthermore, this script buys as much ST8 as can fit in your inventory. You need to have enough money to buy
    an entire inventory full of ST8 Drop. This is about $304,000,000 with 16,000 bags.

Step #1

The first thing you need to do is install Python. If you have Mac OS X, you already have Python installed.

For Windows users, follow this link: ActivePython


When you get to the page, simply hit the > <>


Download this file:


Open the file you downloaded and make sure you install Python to the default directory:

Step #2

Download this file and extract the contents to C:\: dope_wars.zip [~400kb]


This file contains the "mechanize" library (Google it. It's what lets us log in to Facebook.) and the Dope Wars script.


Navigate to C:\dope_wars\ and make sure mechanize, ClientForm.py and dope_cheese3.py are in the directory.


Step #3 - Windows


Go to Start > Run and type "cmd". This opens a Command Prompt like this one:




Have your username and password handy, the script needs to know these to log in. You will need to put them in the next command.


Type this command and press ENTER:
C:\Python25\python.exe C:\dope_wars\dope_cheese3.py yourlogin@domain.com yourpassword


Step #3 - Mac OS X

You should already have Python installed as it comes with OS X.

Extract the dope_wars.zip to your home directory.


Open Terminal.app, and use 'cd' to navigate to where you extracted the script.


When you are in the directory that has dope_cheese3.py (type 'ls' to confirm), run this command:

python dope_cheese3.py youremail@domain.com yourpassword


Further discussion

The script follows this path:


  • Check prices.


  • If the margin is > $1000, it buys and sells until the margin is not $1000.

  • If the margin is < $1000, it waits 10 seconds, and checks the prices again.

NOTE: This script logs you into Facebook. That would log you out everywhere else UNLESS you check the "Remember Me" box when logging in:


To stop the script, hold CTRL+C for a few seconds.
