Mozilla Thunderbird ISP Configuration Settings: Hotmail.
Thunderbird can be used as a client for a Hotmail email account. Thunderbird will download messages from the Hotmail server and store them on your local system. Similarly, Thunderbird can be used to compose messages which are sent through Hotmail's mail servers. You can still use Hotmail's web-based application - Thunderbird will query the server and synchronize messages.
Hotmail accounts can be configured in Thunderbird Automatic Account Configuration. This page has instructions on how to manually Configure an account or modify an existing account.
1. Access the account settings by selecting Tools | Account Settings.... Select your Hotmail account from the list on the left. Make sure your name and account are correctly specified on the Default Identity page.
