How to replace Windows Live Mail with Thunderbird
Posted on May 7, 2016 at 18:15 CDT by woody • Comment in the ForumsI don’t want to start a religious war, but reader Conehead has the inside scoop on how to use Thunderbird with your Microsoft-supplied email addresses:
Apparently the new Outlook.com is going to be using the Office 365 mail servers. I have just set up Thunderbird to send/receive mail from these servers. To me, Thunderbird seems very similar to WLM.If anyone is interested, I have some screenshots of how the setup screens should look. -
