Is this even possible? Am trying to help a friend ditch Windows Live Mail (IMAP acct). Would like to be able to either forward all WLM to Thunderbird (which I've set up with his ISP address and is working) or set up a way to read the IMAP msgs using Thunderbird. He does not want to change his email address from Live.com He also has a free AOL acct (which I think is web mail only?) that I'd like to do the same thing with, although that's not a priority. Obviously I don't understand all the ins and outs of IMAP and don't even know how to find out. Any help appreciated.
