Using Hotmail with Thunderbird 3 22 juin 2009

As I couldn’t find easy steps to follow to use Hotmail with Thunderbird 3, I decided to write my own article about it. And as screenshots are better than thousands of words, here you have. The screenshots are in french, but it’s trivial to understand which field is what.
Comme je ne parvenais pas à trouver une marche à suivre simple pour utiliser Hotmail depuis Thunderbird 3, j’ai décidé d’écrire mon propre article dessus. Comme des captures d’écran valent mille mots, voici pour vous.
Parameters for incoming emails
Parameters for outcoming emails
The easy steps I prefer are “File – New – Mail Account (Quick Setup), type your name, email address, password, click the Next button, wait a few seconds, click the Create Account button.”
haha, sure, but the quick setup doesn’t exist for Hotmail (yet).
It sure seems to for me, though I can’t find the bug where it was added (I used it for my failure-case while reviewing the autoconfig patch, so I do remember the times when it didn’t, but now I hit the “checking Mozilla Community configurations” step and get the live.com servers filled in).
Thanks for the screenshots!
I wrote smtp port number is 587. ıts succesfull.
Maybe in the coming beta3? I’m still using beta2.
