In add ons it only lists talkback 2.0.0.1

can not see webmail-1.2.4.xpi

you need to click the Install button, then browse and find the webmail-1.2.4.xpi file that you downloaded to your computer.

5. Restart Thunderbird.
6. File > New > Account > Webmail.
7. Put your Hotmail account settings in. Pop defaults to port 110, SMTP to Port 25. Use your existing main email account SMTP settings and username/password

Thank you - did all that restarted etc., message came up saying localhost responed my address was an unsupported domain - although this website and email address obtained from Windows Live.

Any Ideas?

Microsoft emailed me about a year or so ago saying they were going to stop allowing all hotmail emails through outlook because I assume that they want you to visit the website and look at the adverts.

If you have a really old hotmail address it still lets you use Outlook but for newer addresses it won't.
