The Web-Mail extension creates a platform which other extensions use to integrate web based email accounts into Mozilla Thunderbird. POP is the only protocol supported, this means Thunderbird can only download emails. To send emails use your ISP’s SMTP server, Thunderbird will set the “Return-Path� and “From� email headers using the web account email address, too the recipient the email will appear to have come from the web base account.
Currently only Hotmail, Yahoo, and Lycos accounts are supported.

P.S. - Gmail already supports POP access, so now you can check all your web-mail in a regular mail client.
Martha commented the other day about how photo labs must be going out of business because of digital cameras. It reminded me of a couple of conversations I’ve had recently on the subject that basically ended concluded that most people just take pictures for the sake of sharing them with friends / family, etc., and now people do that online through one of the many photo sharing services (or old school - email).
Many of the photo services also have integrated print ordering, if you really want a hardcopy, but my question would be why? I guess some people still do stuff like scrapbooking, but I’d predict that even that will probably go away as they transition to using tools like photoshop, which would allow you to do a lot more creative stuff with the pictures and still keep unedited originals.

The only downside is that I can’t release it before Friday, according to the contest rules.
In a clear violation of international law, two Iraqi women are arrested and a note was left behind stating “Be a man Muhammad Mukhlif and give yourself up and then we will release your sisters. Otherwise they will spend a long time in detention.” It was signed “Bandit 6″, apparently U.S. army code, possibly designating a company commander. When Reuters called a mobile phone number left on the note, an American who said he was a soldier appeared to be aware of Batawi’s accusation but declined further comment. [more here]
