Thunder VS WebMail


i'm use thunderbird as an e-mail client. i installed WebMail extension to download my hotmail e-mail messages. WebMAil link is the following :


http://webmail.mozdev.org/setup.html

i downloaded the extension and followed the steps and i was able to view my e-mails. put whenever i try to send an e-mail, thunderbird asks me for a password. i type my password but it will never accept it for some reason. i typed the password many times and i'm sure it's the right one cus i use that account a lot. the SMTP server settings are 127.0.0.1 for the port # 25.

i don't know if anybody have used this extension succesfully before . if yes please help.

Well the main problem is "127.0.0.1" is just your own machine.

Looking on that website, it seems you have to use your ISP's SMTP. So change the STMP address to whatever that might be. eg: mail.your-isp.com
