It appears that everyone who is currently having problems with the
Hotmail extension is suffering from the same server fault. This is a
fault with Hotmail, not the extension. Other extensions that download
Hotmail into Thunderbird may work in a different way, e.g. copying and
pasting the text off the screen into what is in effect a new email.
However the only way to get the complete mail into Thunderbird is to
work from the source code, do it any other way and you lose vital
information contained in the source code.

Try going to the Hotmail website, then while you have an email open.
Click on "Actions" (top right of message pane), then select "View
message source". This should bring up a page of text, starting with all
the message headers, then the message itself, followed by the code for
any attachments. When I do this in Firefox or Google Chrome, I get a
page full of symbols, Internet Explorer behaves differently and says it
can't find the page. My belief is that the extension uses this view
message source feature to extract all the information it needs to
produce a POP version of the email to pass on to Thunderbird. If
Microsoft have broken the view message source feature, then the
extension cannot work.
I don't use the Hotmail extension myself, the free POP service from
Hotmail does all that I want.

Hi there,
I've got the Webmail 1.3.8 and Hotmail 1.2.29b4 extensions loaded with
Thunderbird 3.0.6 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Was working fine up until 27th July when all of a sudden I started
getting the following messages:
"The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail
server 127.0.0.1 responded: negative vibes from @hotmail.com"
I have two hotmail.com accounts and the same thing happens with both.
I have turned on the "go straight to my inbox option" in Hotmail -
nothing happens
I have tried on one account to select the "Download unread emails
only" option. Thunderbird then reports that there are no new messages
on the server.
Any suggestions greatfully welcomed.
Dave
