You could do the experiment yourself. Send two messages, one with an attachment and one without to your Hotmail account from another email address. Check whether or not you can retrieve these messages using webmail, (I suspect not). The go to the Hotmail web site, create a new folder and move all messages with attachments to this folder. Try retrieving mail via webmail again. If this works, you have a means of working around the problem. If not, most likely a new message with an attachment was received before you checked the mail.

Possibly, but I'm not sure. The error i was getting was about message number and sizes. Not sure how that affects things. Then again, Webmail only checks the inbox, right? It could work.

What we really need though, is someone who still haven't gotten Thunderbird to retrieve mails, and who has an attachment among the unfetched mail. Then that person would have to move (or remove) that one mail with attachment, and see if that got things working again.

    Oh! I see. Perhaps you could set up a rule on the Hotmail website to
    move any messages with attachments to a holding folder until this
    issue
    is resolved?
