In Thunderbird, go to "Tools", "Account settings". In your Hotmail account, under server settings, use pop3.live.com, port 995 and secure settings SSL (this will normally change the port to 995 the default for SSL anyway). The username will be your full Hotmail address and when requested give your normal password. Outgoing settings are; server name smtp.live.com, port 587 and use TLS for secure connection. You set this in Outgoing servers at the bottom of the Account settings Window. If you're changing from using the extensions, I would edit the existing localhost SMTP settings, but you can create a new server setting if you prefer. You can choose which outgoing server to use from all those set up in Thunderbird in the first section of your Hotmail account settings.
