"webDAV" you say?
That's interesting because old Hotmail accounts are able to communicate
using something that's called "WebDav". If it's the same one, then
WebMail/Hotmail TB extension might already work with Outlook Web Access.
If it doesn't already work, I'm sure the developer/maintainer of that
extension can add this feature :)
P.S. after a quick lookup, it looks like (s)he is already working on it.
See
http://groups.google.com/group/thunderbird-webmail-extension
I was going to search the Thunderbird lists after I posted to the group
but our web access went down.
Thanks for the link. I will have to take a look.
At least I know that OWA is working for me.
Thanks for the link.
