I Thought that Was the Case, But it is Not.... I Had several days with Negative Vibes on Hotmail, Thunderbird 2 on Vista, all started the 2nd Sept 09....
However, after finding a Solution, from another poster, It Now Works Perfect in IMAP Folders in Thunderbird 2 Webmail Vista. Has Been Working perfect for a few days, now. First, I:- Went to Tools> Addons> Webmail Hotmail (Not Webmail) Changed Setting From WebDav to "Hotmail Live - New Website". Close Thunderbird. Use firefox/Opera/Internet Explorer Browser to Locate MSN or MSN UK (I Used UK) Sign In. There was a Popup Window advertising new features. There was a Box to Check to set to never show popup again. I Found that, as long as this popup was poping up, in Firefox, I was unable to access my mail in IMAP in thunderbird. This May Be a Coincidence. I Checked not to show Pop Up Again. I Also Went to look through Inbox, in Firefox. Signed Out Live. Closed and Started Thunderbird a couple of times, and suddenly Worked, and Still Does. Good Luck :-) alanrf wrote: > The only way you will get an IMAP experience with Hotmail (now that > Microsoft has terminated WebDav access) is to use the Windows Live > Mail client.
