I've just started using TB (2.0.0.14) and successfully setup
btinternet mail but can not get Hotmail to work.
Am using Vista and have installed addons Webmail 1.3.2 + Webmail
Hotmail 1.2.18 (domains running). Created Webmail account setting
username and server as instructed. Have also read and tried the
"Hotmail Howto" which didn't make any difference. "GetMail" gives the
green light and states connnecting to hotmail.com but that's it - no
password request, no error given. But I can send mail successfully.
Anyone with suggestions.
Thanks

Having spoken to a friend with TB, I've made some alterations to the
account. Now message from Hotmail says "Mail server pop3.live.com
responded: mailbox for nikigor...@hotmail.com is not available".
Untrue and have checked CapsLock not on.
Changes made include setting a email account (and tried web mail with
same response) up with:
Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type pop3.live.com.
Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type smtp.live.com.
Incoming server (POP3) box, type 995.
Outgoing server (SMTP) box, type 25.
Under both Incoming server (POP3) and Outgoing server (SMTP), select
the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) check box.
The error console is empty.
Yes I have a virus checker, Norton

If you have a free Hotmail account then your friend has not served you
well. You cannot use those servers for free Hotmail accounts.
If you want to use the Webmail extensions to receive and send Hotmail
in Thunderbird then:
the server is *always* localhost (or its numeric value 127.0.0.1)
For POP the port is 110
User Name: youruse...@hotmail.com
Use secure connection: Never
For SMTP the port is 25
User Name: youruse...@hotmail.com
Secure connection: None
Also check in the Hotmail extension setting (POP) tab fro your account
and select the right account type. For most Hotmail users now the
most likely choice is Hotmail Live but if WebDav will work for you (it
will only work on very old free accounts) then stick with that option
- it is far the best.

Starting from scratch with the following settings for a web mail
account the message "connected to host" is temp displayed but gets no
further.
Account Settings:
Account Name <my name HOT>
Your Name <my name HOT>
Email Address <niki...@hotmail.com>
Outgoing SMTP (niki...@hotmail.com - localhost)
Server Settings:
Server Type POP Mail Server
Server Name <localhost> Port <110>
UserName <niki...@hotmail.com>
Security Settings <Never>
Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings:
Server Name <localhost>
Port <25>
UserName <niki...@hotmail.com>
Secure Connection <None>
If I attempt to send an email for this account I'm informed that
connecting to the SMTP server localhost failed. Is either unavailable
or refusing connections.
Guess I am still getting the server settings wrong, but can not see
it.

I have exactly the same kind of problem.
I cannot connect through pop3.live.com: it says Mail server
pop3.live.con responded:authorization failed.
It maight seem stupid, but what do they refer to as "localhost"?
I also tried izzymail, but it doesn t really work.
Thanks

You need to make sure that the port settings in Thunderbird for POP is
110 (seems you have) and that SMTP in Thunderbird for the account is
port 25
Now you may have messed up the main Webmail extension based on your
friends misinformation. You need to make sure that the POP port in
that extension is 110 and the SMTP port is 25.
Apologies for failing to ask you to check that in my earlier post.

Yep, all correct. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled addons webmail
& webmail - hotmail and recreated the mail account just in case. Made
no difference, still not working. Bum.....
