Mozilla Thunderbird 2 Help

Does anyone know how to set up Hotmail inside Thunderbird? What's all the steps and information? I usually don't mess around with the core server and port stuff, as I have used Outlook.

I use WebMail hotmail, yahoo, and aol all run fine in thunderbird 2 and mines in ubuntu. They have detailed install instructions on the site.

WebMail

Wow, the instructions aren't very helpful on WebMail. It only retrieves mail from the inbox, and won't download any other folders. For some reason it uses some gmail domain (from my gmail account) for some out going server and I don't know how to change it.

I'm totally lost. Anyone know the Hotmail port numbers, and smtp servers? Help?

On this page on part two WebMail It shows about editing the pop tab to allow download of junk mail and other folders and yes it does not download Draft, Trash, or Sent Items folders.

Go to Edit>Account Settings> then at the bottom on the left open Outgoing Server (SMTP). Then follow the SMTP Account Creation at the bottom of this page WebMail
