Mozilla 1.7.13

[Stereotypical Rage]

I don't think you're understanding what I am talking about. The Webmail 
Extension services the big companies who offer Webmail features. 
(MSN/Hotmail, Yahoo, GMail, and others.), that doesn't necessarily mean 
it's like using their webmail features. I don't have to go to the 
MSN/Live/Hotmail website. I can do this all in Thunderbird 1.5.  
Natively, I can't do that. Thus, I use this extension.

The Hotmail sub-extension supports 3 modes, screen scrapping WebDav and 
Beta. As I understand it, Screen scrapping is to be used for Hotmail/MSN.
WebDav is exactly what Outlook/Outlook Express use to talk to MSN. It's 
an HTTP extension of some sort. Beta is used for Windows Live.


This nifty little extension pulls email in to Thunderbird. Sends and 
receives "webmail" as if it were native to Thunderbird. Which is what 
you'd expect out of a POP/SMTP client and what you're looking for, yes?


Also, download Mozilla 1.7.13 via the URL below. Keep in mind you'll 
have to install with root, else you'll get an install error. I 
downloaded and installed without a hassle tonight.

Good Luck

The issue is using POP3/SMTP natively to pull and send email to the MSN POP3/SMTP servers (non-Hotmail mode) which requires that the email client properly support Microsoft Secure Authentication protocol.  If I wanted to use IMAP or HTTP, I already could do that with Evolution or an other client but as things now, I am heavily entrenced in Mozilla mail as that is where all my current email and contact/address book information lives.  I was able to install Mozilla 1.7.13 on both Fedora Core 5 and SuSE 10.1 but it won't install to Dapper.  Mozilla 1.7.12, available from the universe repository, installs okay, but then when I try to connect to MSN using it, 1.7.12 reports back that MSN does not support Secure Authenication when it fact, it not only does it support it but requires it.
