Hotmail backup without POP3 crap?

(1/3) > >>

MilesAhead:
Seems like the easy way should be to copy email folders to SkyDrive, then download.  But I see no clue anywhere how to do it. I've wasted about 3 hours screwing around with POP3 AddOns that claim to access hotmail but don't work.

Has anyone found the easy way?

Have you tried using Windows Live Mail?

Isn't that another online deal? I'm trying to get my stored email to my PC without forwarding one by one.  I tried setting up Thunderbird to access hotmail following guides but I get not accept password.

I don't know why they don't just have right click on folder to move it in one shot.

I take it you don't have Outlook?

You could try to add it as IMAP account to Thunderbird and then use Import/Export Tools add-on. That's how I do it for one of my e-mail accounts which is IMAP only, but I haven't tried it with Hotmail. It should work if you can add it as IMAP account.
