    Thunderbird not recieving inbound connections from Hotmail, weird problem!

    So.. I'm using TB with my hotmail account. It was fine for the last year or so, and all of a sudden it keeps timing out when it tries to connect. Odd thing is that it'll send emails fine.

    Whether hotmail have updated their servers so that the addon i'm using is incompatible i don't know, but it doesn't seem to be a widespread issue - at least i'm trying to find the right phrasing in google at the moment.

    Any ideas? Could be a port problem, i dunno?

    I found I would get this after a while with Hotmail and Thunderbird. In the end I just gave up trying to get Thunderbird to get my Hotmail for me.
