So i'm trying to set up an account with the firefox software application Thunderbird. It's an e-mail client/hosting software program. Similar to the Mail app for Macs, or Outlook Express for PCs.

Anyway, in setting up the account it asks for the e-mail server settings. I used hotmail.com. So can you guys help me by telling me what I should enter for the following set-up questions it asks. I know this is silly and basic but i honestly don't know what it should be.

Server type: POP mail server
