Mozilla Firefox email?

Question

I am trying Mozillas Firefox simply to get away from MSN Explorers many periodic freezes. I need to bedo a few things to make it work.
1. I have two MSN email addresses I check frequently. I get one just by clicking on Tools/Email. It boots my MSN and I have access to all my folders to store messages. (I think I am really using MSN Explorer though and it will no doubt soon freeze and cause me to wait 15-45 seconds). My question is how do I get my other MSN email address to come up inside Mozilla Firefox? It would be best to have a single tab or link to use and be able to delete or store each message as I read them. Can this be done?

The second question is where do I save and select web site URL's I frequently visit and can they be organized?

(Please specific on how to set these two things up as I do not know my way around these things very well).
Thank you,
Tom

Answer 1

Two options:

For email access directly via Firefox, use the Email notifier toolbar plug in:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2595/

This will only notify you that mail is there and allow to access Hotmail in one click.

Right now, you can not access Hotmail with anything other than Outlook or Outlook Express, as M$ uses a proprietary engine for Hotmail.

(There may actually be some open source programs out there that get around it, but not easily).

Thunderbird, the email client made by Mozilla will not work with Hotmail either.

Answer 2

The first half of your question I am not sure what you mean. You should be able to download an e-mail client like Thunderbird that will go out and check all the email accounts that you have saved on a periodic basis. The various email sites that you use (MSN, etc.) should have instructions on setting this up.

As far as the second, I can only assume you mean your bookmarks. To add a bookmark all you need to do is press [CTRL]+d. This will bring up a prompt on where you want to save the bookmark in the drop down menu at the top. You can manage, rearange, etc. your bookmarks using this drop down.

Answer 3

You need Mozilla Thunderbird for e-mail.
