@Zzyzx:

try to set up a new tb-account for hotmail in a separate profile
after deleting the old tb-account
and after making a BACKUP of your OLD MAILS !!!!
.......................................................................................

thereto a citation from an older conversation:

first i saved my old hotmail.de-mails
therefore i copied the "Inbox"-file and the "Inbox.msf"-file
(C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\ApplicationData\Thunderbird
\Profiles\%TBprofile%\Mail\localhost)
(so i can copy them back to the new location later to replace the new
files there)

then i deleted the account and the smtp-server in TB and also
remaining folders an files (above mentioned path)
i also uninstalled all extensions and deleted remaining folders and
files in the %TBprofile%-folder
(folders: extensions and WebmailData; files: extensions.cache,
extensions.ini, extensions.rdf and xpti.dat)
(be careful !!! this step removes all add-ons, so you have to
reinstall those you want to use further on)

as result TB is cleared as if the account had never existed

then i created a new profile for tb that should be used only for the
hotmail-account
(profileswitcher add-on maybe useful)
i have installed the webmail/hotmail extensions (latest versions)
first
than i created the account as a webmail account
(before i had a normal email account in tb, but it seems to be that it
makes no difference what kind of account is used)
.......................................................................................

and another one:

backup the .msf-files and all the other content of the localhost
folder first
c:\doc's & settings\username\AppData\TB\profiles
\that_profile_which_contains_hotmail\mail\localhost

uninstall the add-ons, delete remaining folders like Webmail and those
for webmail/hotmail in extensions-folder
delete the hotmail-account in tb

create a new separate profile (profileswitcher_add-on is useful) for
hotmail and install extensions first,
then setup the account with servers (localhost is the only one and
standard-smtp)
you can choose the normal email account-type - it not has to be a
webmail-account

copy the backuped files to the new destination-folder and replace the
content which was created there (like Inbox, Inbox.msf to Trash,
Trash.msf)


good luck, hope this helps
