I have been living with the limits of POP to read my Hotmail on TB, but I'd really like to try this method.
Would it work if I installed the two addons, then changed the server settings of the existing Hotmail account to match the webmail setup (changing "pop3.live.com" to "localhost" and "smtp.live.com" to "localhost"? I tried creating a new TB account from scratch with the same username/ password and edited the server settings to "localhost", and nothing happens. Also, I don't get the "Mode" tab in the component view, just POP and SMTP. Mac OS X 10.4.11 Mozilla/5.0 Gecko/20110414 Thunderbird/3.1.10 Web-Mail-1.3.12, Hotmail-1.2.30
