How to Use Live Hotmail With Thunderbird 3.0
If you want to use an open-source email client, as opposed to one of the native Microsoft clients, you can use Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0. Yet Thunderbird 3.0 does not allow for automatic configuration of Windows Live Hotmail, in the same way that Outlook or Windows Live Mail 2011 do. You have to set it up as a manual email account using the POP3 settings.
