READ THIS FIRST!

A tutorial for how to add a hotmail account in thunderbird 3.
My thunderbird is in Swedish but I hope you will understand anyway.

In the video so do I check "Use safe authentication" in the smpt area.

Don´t check it. Microsoft seems to have changed something.

No worry :) It´s just fun to help people.

Have you tried that I wrote:

did exactly that but it still doesn't work

[orrebo]

Hmm. What can it be? You don´t have any firewall blocking thunderbird for outgoing?

Send a private message to me with your e-mail if you want of course. I have taken some screenshots of my settings.

I maybe have found what the problem is. I saw that I didn´t checked Use safe authentication.

So don´t check it.

Ok. Imissed that you had written it. I will try again right now. It´s possible that microsoft has changed something with hotmail.
