Can you open hotmail accounts in Thunderbird? (I am very happy with MY 
hotmail accounts, why change?)

If so, can you send hotmail mail as forward as attachment from Thunderbird.

The whole point of using OE with hotmail is that OE CAN f-a-a the mail 
whereas hotmail does not allow that.

Prior to some months ago (before hotmail 'upgraded' their site) any hotmail 
account could be opened in OE - since that upgrade you cannot do that with a 
newly opened hotmail account.

Reading several hotmail accounts via OE is very simple and does not require 
opening and closing each account to access the next and OE does f-a-a any 
mail - great for SC submittals from hotmail.
