A quick apology... My previous post here sounded like the death knell for the Webmail- Hotmail extension. That was not at all my intention when posting this. Yes, I agree 100% with alanrf that the extra features enabled by continuing to use the Webmail-Hotmail extension are well worth the effort to leave the extension in place and active on your T-bird. So, if I sounded as though I was running off into the sunset screaming, "Yay, no more need for this extension!", I definitely apologize. I've been a loyal user and supporter of this project for quite a few years. I still use the Webmail-Yahoo extension in my T-bird currently.
