Hotmail and Apple Mail/Thunderbird

Couldn't find an answer on this after a search

Will Hotmail(free) work with Mail, and for that matter, Thunderbird on Mac

Can't seem to make it happen, e.g. income server settings?

If it's the 'HTTP Mail Plugin', i've tried it and it doesn't work.

Can hotmail be made to automatically forward to another email address?

How would that be done then! ?

Just thought I'd add that the HTTP plugin worked for me, quite a neat little thing that! I'm happy I can use Mail now to read Hotmail emails, cheers

But when did you get your hotmail account?

Ok.

After MUCH searching, experimenting and arse-ing around, I think I've nearly cracked this.

By using a program call 'FreeMacPops', I'm able to make Hotmail work with TB. Atleast it certainly works with the Inbox - still working on how to get your other Hotmail folders to work.

This might all be old news of course
