how do you configure Thunderbird to read you Hotmail?

I downloaded/Installed the webmail plugins.

I found some instructions online to configure it, but its still notworking right. It pulled down some of my emails but when i try to send or recieve more I get server errors.

tried disabling all the security on my computer but that didnt do anything.

Thanks!

Error messages are there to tell us what happened.

At a guess, are you sure that the server settings for ports and secure login or secure connection are correct?

Try these.
Hotmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3.live.com (logon using Secure Password Authentification - SPA, mail server port: 995)

Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.live.com (SSL enabled, port 25)

Or check here:
