Thunderbird cannot access Hotmail directly.
It is a webmail only service.
The only way to access hotmail with Thunderbird is to use some sort of gateway program to translate between POP and Hotmail's webmail.
One such program is "Webmail Retriever" you can find it at: http://www.apocgraphy.com/WebmailRetrieverRed
Hope that Helps!
OPTION 2
Use WEBMAIL add-ons (they work just like with firefox)
You will need two add-ons, "webmail" (main add-on) and "hotmail" (for hotmail, you can set up others for Yahoo etc.)
You can download add-ons from
webmail.mozdev.org
Follow the instructions from website (http://webmail.mozdev.org/setup.html)
Be careful to install webmail add-on before the hotmail one!
