Hi Brian, There is some good news. You can now access your Hotmail from any email program that can access a POP3 account. The instructions for doing this can be found at http://www.fredshead.info/2009/03/hotmail-goes-pop3.html I hope this helps.
Regards Steve. From: Bryan Peterson Hi all, Well I just downloaded THunderbird, but it also doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for as far as Email, either that or I'm just missing something. I say this because as I said before I use a Hotmail account and, again unless I'm just missing something, Thunderbird doesn't appear to have an option for that. I hit Create Account and type in my name and Email, then I hit Next. The problem starts then. It asks me to select the server type, both incoming and outgoing. The only two options are IMAP and POP3. I'm wondering what, if anything, I should do about this. Does Thunderbird support Hotmail? And if so how do I configure it? Thanks in advance for your help.
