Just correcting the following.I have the newest thunderbird and I am currently using my Hotmail account on it.Need instruction? 1. Go to file NEW2. Then go to MAIL ACCOUNT3. You will notice a dialog box asking you to fill in you NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS (can be @gmail, @hotmail, or even @eq.edu.au (Australia))4. Once you enter the information and click okay, it will start some configurating then it will automatically finish.. EASY. hope I helped.AND with all due respect to the person below me. You probably wrote that while using an old thunderbird the newest which you can get from the mozilla site has a lot more to it and IS better to use, its worth updating often.

the SMTP server isn't based on the type of mail provider, it's based on the ISP gateway and what port is used you should be able to find out quite easily by typing 'SMPT servers' into google. assuming u have that information correct hotmail shud be irrelevant to delivery.
