Using Thunderbird for Hotmail

    A few days ago I downloaded Thunderbird. Now I'm trying to set up my hotmail account on it. On the mozilla forums, I was told I needed a webmail and a hotmail extension to do this. I downloaded and installed them but am not sure what to do when I get to this screen. A forum I found on google was discussing this, apparently they came to the conclusion that there is no way to use Thunderbird with Hotmail. I'm hoping that since there is an extension for hotmail, they're wrong. Anyone know what I should do?

    Someone posted it before, I'll try and root it up. I thought you had to pay the upgrade to get POP3 email access on your email client.

    Nevermind, it's working for me now. Apparently there was an option available after downloading the extension that I didn't notice. If Ruu's right and hotmail doesn't provide a POP3 server, the extension I got can be found here.
