The reverse certainly works. I was getting my Hotmail in TB using the
two addons. When Hotmail made free POP access available, I simply
changed the account settings to match those given by Hotmail.
"pop3.live.com" instead of "localhost" etc. Watch out for other settings
that may need changing, for example, you don't use a secure connection
between TB and localhost, this connection is entirely internal to your
computer.

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.
