With some reservations, yes, it does mean that you no longer need the webmail extensions to get your Hotmail in Thunderbird. If you've got folders set up on the Hotmail site and filters to automatically move mails into those folders, then be aware that the POP3 protocol doesn't recognise folders on the server. In short any mail in special folders on Hotmail won't be downloaded. Only mails in the Hotmail inbox will be downloaded by Thunderbird using the POP3 protocol.
