ok Ive already done all that. Ive installed the necessary extensions for mozilla as well as Freepops. It works fine its just that it keeps downloading the messages all over again. I knwo someone has actually done this coz ive read it but they didnt say how, but no where i can find to exactly say how.
Thanks again
I use a Hotmail account every day, downloading the mail with Thunderbird.
Rarely do I ever send an email through Hotmail using Thunderbird. ( Because I just read this thread, I thought I'd better try it... I did... still works fine.)
I use the Hotmail account for subscriptions, like this forum.
I have zero experience with Ypops. I use Webmail and the corresponding Hotmail extension. (There is one for Yahoo, and it works fine too)
I do not have paid accounts with either Hotmail or Yahoo. Just plain old freebie accounts that I set up ages ago.
If you want to do it with Thunderbird, and the Webmail extension, here is the link:
http://webmail.mozdev.orgYou can download what you need there, and there are very good instructions there too.
Recently, I am experiencing a nuisance problem with Hotmail. When I delete mail within T-Bird, sometimes it is deleted on the Hotmail server, and sometimes it is not. So slowly, mail builds up on the Hotmail server.
However, Thunderbird does not download it again.
Using here:
Thunderbird 2.0.0.9
Webmail 1.3.1
Webmail - Hotmail 1.2.13
Webmail - Yahoo 1.3.2
I hope this helps.
