Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 RC1


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't know how to change the client ID. I know for sure hotmail blocks mail from Thunderbird (and also SeaMonkey's email client, which is based on thunderbird). I have an old hotmail account, still active even tho I rarely use it. I sent mail to that account using Thunderbird (which is set up with my cox ISP account)...... at least half of what I sent never gets there....however, if I use Outlook Express (which has the same pop/smtp settings) it will always get there. If I use my yahoo webmail, mail will get to hotmail. Most of my contacts do not want gmail (why, I don't know). I think they're afraid of change as they've had hotmail for years. I dislike hotmail, myself.

So, until something changes, I have to use something other than a mozilla based email client if I am to be assured of the hotmail contacts getting my mail ALL of the time.

Does Outlook phone home to Microsoft upon start-up for no reason. The answer is Yes.

Most MS Programs out today seem to like to phone-home for no reason(ie. office,Visual Studio..)

Can you give more information? Like if this happens every time, the server it connects to, etc.

The Outlook 2007 installed on my machine didn't go anywhere except my pop mail servers (according to Sysinternal's TCPView).
