I'm totally flummoxed here (is that english lol?)

Essentially, it works fine picking up my hotmail on my desktop. Have now installed webmail extension with hotmail extension on thunderbird, and not getting anywhere with it on my laptop.

Posted in the webmail google group here: Strange inability to pick up hotmail - Thunderbird Webmail Extension | Google Groups

Any ideas :confused:

How the hell do i set it up to get my mail? hotmail uses the HTTP way but, thunderbird asks for a pop3 account? any ideas?

Ben

Go here: WebMail

Download the webmail component and then any pack you need depending on the account you want to pick up.

The webmail component has a pop mail server running on your pc so your "POP connection" is to your local PC and the webmail then forwards on to hotmail, yahoo or whoever and acts as the go-between

Brilliant!

What are the settings for the pop on the pc or where can i find them?

Ben

Err, no real settings. Once installed, just go to add a new account in thunderbird (select webmail) and under address, it's localhost, and under account login name, it's the full address, i.e. [email protected] not just conshine

It *should* then work :P

Hi,

I have put all the correct info in and when I put in the password, I get the message 'sending the password did not succeed - mail server responded - negative vibes from [email protected]

Anybody got any ideas? i have tried everything?

Cheers,

Ben

Dunno, have you looked at their FAQ section? Shows how to set it up.
