User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Thunderbrid version 1.5.0.5 (20060719)

Messages created and sent out in thunderbird can not be recieved by hotmail and are not even put in the junk mail folders.  I have several pop mail accounts from several site and Thunderbird can send mail between them and even to gmail and yahoo accounts, but all mail created and sent through Thunderbird never arrives.  I can send email to hotmail account through another pop account manger (outlook, outlook express, and even my palm).  They can also be recieved by hotmail accounts  thru the webservers from the email addresses.  Is microsoft intentionally blocking thunderbird?  I have requested a reason from Hotmail as well.  It is strange that I can recieve mail from one account to the other through thunderbird, but it never goes to hotmail at all.  There is also another odd occurance, If I send an email from hotmail to the account thunderbird can respond and hotmail will recieve it?  Mail even sent to both hotmail and yahoo is only recieved by yahoo?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install thunderbird setup pop account and email any hotmail account
2.waite.....
3.send email thru same account to yahoo and gmail and receive mail?

Actual Results:  
I have not received any email in my hotmail account sent from thunderbird unless It was originally created in hotmail.

Expected Results:  
The ability to send email to hotmail accounts.

No errors.  It always says mail sent successfully.  T^his may be a serious problem for anyone emailing to hotmail accounts.  Their email will never be received, and they may not realize it.  There isnt even a failure to deliver returned from hotmail.

I sent two messages to a recently reactivated account. The first was a short "test" message that was not received however the second was a slightly longer message that was marked as junk. You may have gotten yourself blacklisted on hotmail for some reason. Make sure your junk mail settings allow the email address you are using in Thunderbird. Send another message and cc me here.

Otherwise, works for me.

Josh, have you been able to receive email at your hotmail account that you have written in thunderbird?
