AFAIK, you can't check Hotmail accounts from Thunderbird.

try Hotmail Popper

Hotmail Popper is a small application that allows you to check your Hotmail account e-mail from a normal POP mail client (such as Eudora, IncrediMail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Opera, Netscape, etc). Unlike standard mail accounts which allow users to retrieve their e-mail through a POP mail client, Hotmail can normally only be checked on the web. With Hotmail Popper, you can use your favorite POP mail client to retrieve your e-mail from your Hotmail account. In addition, Hotmail Popper allows you to send e-mails through Hotmail's service, as if it was a normal SMTP (outgoing mail) server

Okay, I have to admit. I've never used an e-mail client before. I only used to use web based e-mail mostly because I never got a lot of e-mail. But, I want to know, do any of the ones listed have the abiity to read HTML e-mail as pure text?

That's what I really want. I blocked a lot of web-bugs in my HOSTS file, but that doesn't prevent all of them.

Not sure if there&#39;s a way to do it in Thunderbird...but the Junk Mail settings "sanitize" the HTML messages....whatever that means

Sanitizing HTML means that malicious scripts can&#39;t run and images on the page aren&#39;t displayed.

Why would you want that?

Because the nasty scripts won&#39;t be able to install virii or trojans on your computer.
Because the loading of certain images in spam can confirm the existence of your email account to the spammer. That is a bad thing and will lead to you getting even more spam... duh.

Hope thats understandable.

Mozilla Thunderbird all the way&#33;

[Xero Grid]

Yep, that&#39;s exactly why I don&#39;t want HTML mail.
Oh, I forgot. Is there any client that has the ability to identify whether an e-mail has html without opening it. Like it will have some kind of special icon next to the e-mail while searching for new mail or notification before opening it?

My Thunderbird guru friend said you can do the HTML > plain text thing by adding this to your user.js

// HTML messages display (0 - HTML, 1 - plain text):
user_pref("mailnews.display.html_as", 1);

Thanks Lowest
