Retrieve internet email using Thunderbird?


I read somewhere of a program, that would retrieve email from a web-mail service (hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc.) and allow you to receive it as though it were a POP3 email account. Also, would this program also allow me to send email, through that account, from within Thunderbird as well? I thought I read about it here, but I couldn't find it in a search, so it must have been somewhere else.

The immediate answer is "no", there is no native way to convince Thunderbird to get email from a hotmail account - or any webmail account.

However, there are options - http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/ - is a small app (smapp?) that will pull emails into any pop3 client.

Otherwise you could write (or request someone else write) an extension to Thunderbird. I didn't search for this so there may be one already.
