I have finally made the switch from Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird. I had Hotmail for years, but I recently switched over the GMail, and I LOVE it! With that said, my husband absolutely refuses to switch. He just wants to keep his Hotmail and that's it. We previously had our accounts in Outlook 2003 with the Outlook Connector and everything worked fine. I tried download the Webmail Extension with the Hotmail extension and thought it was like something that replaced the Outlook Connector. I guess not. It downloads the Inbox and not any of the Folders. I went into the Hotmail Extension setting and added one folder to test it, and it downloaded everything to the inbox.
I guess the Webmail Extension only works by Pop3 for Hotmail. Can someone please give me step-by-step instructions on how to set up Hotmail in Thunderbird so it can sync with everything just like Outlook Connector did? I tried searching in your groups and I can't find anything concrete that I can understand. Just a bunch of people arguing about whether it can be done, and then in-theory instructions that I don't understand at all (filtering rules, or whatever. I don't get it).
