Mozilla 1.7.13

[Stereotypical Rage]

This is really not a separate email system. What the Webmail does is 
basically use your PC as a SMTP/POP server. How to set it all up is all 
on the website. It's quite easy.

There are 3 ways which the Hotmail sub-extension works.

 From the website:
"The Hotmail extension has three methods of communication with 
Microsoft's servers (ScreenScraper, WebDav, and Beta). The screen 
scraper method parses the web page for the necessary information. Weddav 
is the same method Outlook and Outlook Express use to communication with 
Microsoft's. Beta is used to communicate with the Beta Hotmail site.

The Webdav method is faster and more reliable than the screen scraper 
methods but is restricted to old free accounts or paid accounts."

I don't have MSN to test it, but it works very well for Hotmail 
(samething, different stink). While it may be a little slow(I use screen 
scrapper) WebDAV claims to be faster.  Just try it before you see if 
it's not for you. I really like it as I can access my hotmail accounts 
in Thunderbird with ease. I hate going to the clunky MSN Hotmail site. I 
use Thunderbird for everything and this is a really convenient extension 
for me. What do you have to lose in trying it?

Unless I can get Mozilla working working on Ubuntu, this is a bit of a road block for me in using Dapper on a day to day basis.  The real mystery to me is why/how secure authentication was "broken" in the current versions of Thunderbird and SeaMonkey such that Mozilla 1.7.13 is the only thing that seems to work on the Linux side of the world.
