Sorry... that didn't make much sense, did it? I changed my settings to use pop3 to get my email from hotmail, and I can send and receive my mail just fine. My hotmail language setting is "English" ( you have to log in to your hotmail account through your browser to set this). In about:config (access via Options > Advanced > General tab > click Config Editor...) Preference Name: general.useragent.local Value: en-US. I did find some discussion regarding changing your language settings to UK english, if you still cannot send/receive email from the US.
here are my settings for anyone who wants to try it out. Incoming (pop3) email settings ---------------------------------- Server Name: pop3.live.com Port: 995 User Name: [email protected] Security Settings Use secure connection: SSL Incoming (SMTP) settings -------------------------------------- Description: Server Name: smtp.live.com Port: 25 User Name: [email protected] Secure Connection: TLS (if available) I also found a couple articles that may be useful: 1) http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions/settings/archive/2009/01/06/send-and-receive-windows-live-hotmail-emails-from-a-mail-client.aspx 2) http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!32413.entry There may be some useful comments at the end of the second page linked above. I hope this helps... however, this also removes the need for the webmail extension. Sorry webmail author, i know you have worked hard on this plugin, and you, alanrf have worked hard trying to help people with the extension and their problems regarding the extension.
