There is a warning that, "You probably don't want to leave those
settings permanently, they can reduce performance." when you change the
setting in Firefox. They're right! It became practically unusable and
wouldn't let me log into Hotmail at all and displayed other web pages
rather strangely. Fortunately it's easy to reset.

to help others can you be more precise about what exact steps you took
that resolved the problem in Thunderbird?
The "about config" entry mentioned for Firefox does not exist by
default in Thunderbird (at least not in the latest version of
Thunderbird).
I cannot try to reproduce this solution since it has never been an
issue for any of my Hotmail accounts.
Many thanks.

Hi all,
I found a work around! I can get my new emails again!
The solution is on this
page:https://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=81cbf352-9083-4f9b-8...
If you apply the solution mentioned for Firefox to Thunderbird, the
Hotmail extension works again!
Kind regards,

I don't know if mine is new or old.. But at the right hand side I also
have the Reply with a down arrow, if I click the down arrow I can
chose View Source a bit down the menu.

Alan,
Are you sure that you are using the new sites? You may have not been
converted yet. My screen doesn't have the Actions button anymore.
I try the view message source here and it works fine. The only time I
page of code symbols is with attachments. I have download the
attachments and they download as zip files; hence, the code symbols on
my message source view is of a compressed file. Of I would need to
extract the file(s) for viewing.
When I enterwww.hotmail.com, the website that I get log into
is:http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=11&ct=1282132577&;...
Your website is probably different then this. I come to this
conclusion based on the following: Click on "Actions" (top right of
message pane), then select "View
message source". from your previous post. On the site I use I only
have a Reply Button with a Down Arrow to the right of it which takes
me to the message options where I can view the options including the
the message view.
I do have problems with the extension too.
1. It does not co-operate with my AVG anti-virus software. I am unable
to download messages unless the AVG resident shield is off.
2.It does not send messages correctly unless the AVG is again off.
3.The extension is timing out when downloading over 20 megs. This
understandable but crashing because of the AVG shouldn't be a problem.
For now I forwarding all of my Hotmail to my AOL account which wasn't
even possible with the older MS Hotmail site version.

I think the simple answer for you and the subset of other Hotmail
users experiencing this problem (sorry to say) is that until
Microsoft/Hotmail gives you a proper response from the "View Message
Source" option that the Webmail Author cannot provide you with a
solution.

Maybe Microsoft would look into it? I shouldn't mention Thunderbird and
webmail extensions if you do contact them. Microsoft don't care whether
these Thunderbird extensions work or not, if anything they would prefer
them not to work. Rather say that you need to see the full source code
of your mails for some reason. Spam reporting would be a possible
reason, systems like Spam Cop need the full headers and source code of
an email to identify the true source.

Any use mailing hotmail/Micro$oft about it?

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
