Hi,
I just managed to integrate the code with the webservice from Vocacom.
All works fine.

However, for some Hotmail Accounts, it still does not work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello,

I also integrated the code with the webservice from Vocamon for Hotmail.It works fine for me.

But the Problem is,i could able to retrieve only two fields i.e Name and E-mail addresses using that webservice..

Is it possible to retrieve all the fields(1.e Firstname,lastname and so on....) from hotmail server using vocakom webservice.

If it is possible could you please let me know where to modify in the Webservice.

Thanks & Regards,
Saritha.

a new webmethod has been introduced to the Vokacom Webservice to cater
for the full list of columns returned; the method is
GetFullContactDetails
http://www.vokacom.net/Vokacom.aspx?CID=43&MID=51

Hello,

I have tested the Vokacom Webservice to get the FullContactDetails .It
is working fine for Gmail,but it is not working for hotmail.It is
throwing the following error for hotmail.

"Application error! Try later."

Earlier using Vokacom webservice Hotmail worked fine for me with two
columns i.e Name and Address,but now the same webservice is not
working for hotmail even for two columns i.e i.e Name and Address.

As per my knowledge,Microsoft has changed the Export page url for
hotmail. (http://bl146w.blu146.mail.live.com/mail/
HipOnExportContacts.aspx?n=579356823).I think from then onwards
vokacom webservice is not working for hotmail.(but i am not sure
whether the problem is because of the change in URL or not).

Could you please look into this issue and let me know the how to fix
this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Saritha.

you're right, the problem with hotmail is with the change not just
with the URL but the introduction of Captcha has proved significant.
we're busily working on a fix; if any work around comes surfaces,
please draw our attention.
the two methods of the webservice work great. only hotmail has a
problem that needs fixing

May I know why we are not using Windows Live API to get hotmail contacts?

Thanks.
