We've successfully set up a Hotmail account as an IMAP account; all the emails/folders seem to appear properly, though deletions made on Outlook.com don't seem to show up.

But for now, we have this problem: none of the contacts from the Hotmail account appear in the Thunderbird address book.

How can we (1) get those contacts and (2) keep them up to date, preferably automatically.

Thank you.

Contact syncing for Hotmail/outlook.com requires an add-on such as TbSync/Provider for Exchange ActiceSync. Compatibility depends on your TB version. The CardBook add-on works too, and it probably works with all versions of TB.
