Can you use Mozilla Thunderbird with your Hotmail account?

Just correcting the following.

I have the newest thunderbird and I am currently using my Hotmail account on it.

Need instruction? 1. Go to file NEW

2. Then go to MAIL ACCOUNT

3. You will notice a dialog box asking you to fill in you NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS (can be @gmail, @hotmail, or even @eq.edu.au (Australia))

4. Once you enter the information and click okay, it will start some configurating then it will automatically finish.. EASY. hope I helped.

AND with all due respect to the person below me. You probably wrote that while using an old thunderbird the newest which you can get from the mozilla site has a lot more to it and IS better to use, its worth updating often. Thanks, MissyElliot

No you cannot use Mozilla Thunderbird with hotmail, i have tried everything to my knowledge and nothing has worked, the simple fact is Mozilla Thunderbird does not support http servers except for gmail, (witch doesnt make since), the bottom line is, you cannot add a custom server URL (witch in this case the hotmail server is, http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.com)
