Setting up WebMail on Thunderbird

When you use free email services like Hotmail, Gmail, etc. They want you to access your inbox through their site to cram you with ads. They have no POP/IMAP servers you can connect to with Thunderbird/Outlook/etc. Now with Thunderbird and WebMail, you can! (I sound like an ad XD )
WebMail Addons:

Sadly, you cannot SEND emails using this. Sorry for not including that.

can this work as a stand alone or do you have to use it with firefox..I am using flock now and it say the yahoo add is not comp with it

[thepcdude]

It wouldn't hurt to type a few characters into google ("thunderbird") and see what it is. Firefox has nothing to do with it. Thunderbird is an email client.

[thepcdude]

I'm very sorry, but it can be anything O_o Maybe it's your firewall, go on Options and see if you have a green light, that might show if there's connectivity. Also, double check the video to make sure you entered everything correctly.

I've been using Thunderbird for two years and had no problem connecting to Gmail, Hotmail etc. All you need to do is install Thunderbird, then navigate to [add account] then input your login details.

Dear Bla

How do I set up delayed autoresponder in Thunderbird? In fact how to set up multiple autoresponders for different things?

Perhaps you can make a tuition vid if you know.
