Is there a way to read Hotmail mail with Thunderbird without using the WebMail pluging?

Question

Some sites tell me Hotmail has POP3 access now, but with Thunderbird it doesn't seem to work. The only solution (which I didn't test yet) is a WebMail plugin that helps Thunderbird to read data from MSN Live / Hotmail. Did anyone get this to work?

Answer 1

I found out that my password was too long. That was the problem!

The IMAP settings are:

Server Name: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port: 993
User Name: your username (for example j.kowal@outlook.com)
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method: Normal password
