          I do. I have 3 hotmail accounts and a gmail account that I've been using in Thunderbird. Now I'm finally able to uninstall these buggy Thunderbird hotmail add-ons and use POP

              Still have one but barely use it. Only 2 people are sending my E-Mails on it..rest is spam lol. I only have it because when I signed up for my MSN account years ago, you HAD to have a Hotmail account to get in. Stupid Microsucks world conquer strategies.

                      ^you can use your mail client now to access your hotmail, without having to go to their stupid fucking website, hotmail.com.

                          Do people still use POP? I'd have thought everyone uses web mail or IMAP for corporate these days. I gave up POP and Eudora for Gmail because it was obviously a lot more convenient when travelling. You also run into hassles like archiving your email or transferring them to a new computer when you use POP which downloads your mail to the hard drive.

                                      You can choose in Outlook and GMail to leave a copy on the server though.

                                              ^^ There are free Hotmail accounts and Hotmail Plus accounts you need to pay for. In the Plus accounts, POP3 was always enabled, in the free accounts so far they weren't an option (another Microsucks world conquer strategy I guess lol). I just tried it out and added my free account to GMail..worked like a charm. Now I have them all in GMail for when I am not at home. Thanks for the headsup, Adam.
