Huh, I didn't know that. Its actually a bit inconvenient (not hotmail) - what if you wanted IMAP?

I was asked to set up (in OE) for a company that wanted it left on the server once. Bummer if you can't in Mozilla based email progs.

349137 2005-04-26 11:19:00 I've got Hotmail working with TBird to check the Hotmail inbox. I used the local folder account. Under settings the servername is Localhost & the username is the username you use for Hotmail. You have to click the Localfolders inbox to highlight it, click get mail, enter your Hotmail password & it downloads your Hotmail messages. Phil B (648)
349138 2005-04-26 11:36:00 I'm suprised they don't have Netscape Webmail support by default.

I don't use e-mail clients myself. I use Ihug as my ISP at present and find their Webmail interface superb.
