Set your Hotmail account in Thunderbird to use pop3.live.com for
receiving and localhost (the extension's SMTP server) for sending. Use
the security settings, ports etc for pop3.live.com as given by Hotmail
and the settings for localhost as in the webmail extension set up
instructions. You should then be receiving mail using POP avoiding the
overhead of the extension getting mails from the website and converting
them to POP for Thunderbird. Sending mail will go through the extension
and hence the Hotmail website, leaving a copy of the sent mail on
Hotmail's servers.

Hi,
I am thinking of trying to combine the WebmailHotmail extension with
the pop3.live.com. This is because when TB is downloading (with
Webmail Extension) the new emails it becomes too slow but, if I create
the same account but configured to download the new email with
pop3.live.com, it works very fast.
The reason for which I want to combine them is because when I write
and send an email in TB, I want to have the copy of this email not
only in TB (at home), I want it in the hotmail server too (to see it
when I connect with firefox in the university, for example).
I have tried to combine them but it doesn't works (I think that the
problem is because pop3 connect to server using SSL and the Webmail
extension didn't do that and the server see something bad -someone
trying to spam, etc.-).
How do you think I can solve this problem?
My hotmail account have about 1000 emails. Do you know another way to
do that? The low speed is not because any antivirus, slow internet
connection or slow CPU.
Thanks for your patience.
