Hello folks, Im trying to set up my Hotmail a/c to work with Mozilla Thunderbird and using an NTL connection. Does anyone know what the required settings are i.e POP3/IMAP, Outgoing and incoming servers etc.? Thanks :)

Unless you pay for Hotmail Plus, you can't access Hotmail via POP/SMTP.

Unless you use the Webmail Extension. That's just from googling. I don't use Firebird so I can't vouch for it or the extension when it comes to Hotmail.

As far as i know you can only use hotmail accounts in an email client if you have a paid-for hotmail account.

Although,
doing a quick google, there seems to be webmail plugins for thunderbird
Google search
Have never used them so dunno if it works thou
