Then I open thunderbirs, went to Tools menu and select Extensions.Then hit the Install button and select the webmail-x-x.xpi file. From the warning window thar says that the software in unsigned, well I need it so I dont care if its not signed, so I hit Install Now!.
I repeate the previous procedure for the hotmail-x-x.xpi file. Well, lest see if it works

After, I setup the hotmail account like a new POP account. The difference is that in POP server I type localhost, and in SMTP sever again type localhost.
Then I restarted Thunderbird. But after a little time fo searchig the window to configure the extension, I open the Tools menu and select Extensions, the select the webmail extension and click the Preferences button. Hoooo my surprice when I find a red alert!!!

# sockstat -4
I found that thunderbird is working like a POP server. And because sendmail its using port 25, thunderbird cant start in that port.
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
user thunderbir 12637 27 tcp4 127.0.0.1:110 *:*
user sendmail 588 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:*
.
.
I have two options:
1) Disable sendmail or change the port it works.
2) Change the thunderbird port to other than 25.
Because I use send mail for testing and other stuff, Ill use the option two. In the WebMail options, I type 2525 in the SMTP field and restart Thunderbird.
I go back to the WebMail options and viola!!! its green.

Now I see this in the terminal.
# sockstat -4
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
user thunderbir 68241 10 tcp4 127.0.0.1:2525 *:*
user thunderbir 68241 12 tcp4 127.0.0.1:110 *:*
I close and open again Thunderbird, I hit the GET MAIL button and AMAZING!!! Thunderbird starts downloading all my hotmail messages..
After I minutes, I can read the e-mails..
