Get Messages (select account) does nothing

Clicking on Get Messages and selecting my Hotmail account results in absolutely no action being taken. It in no way indicates it checked a damn thing and messages that I know are in that mailbox do not show up in my Inbox. If I wait about a half an hour the messages will eventually populate my Thunderbird Inbox, but I want to change my password on that website now, not in 30 minutes or more.

given that Hotmail refuses connection attempts that are attempted at less that 15 minute intervals, it is not uncommon for clicking get mail to do nothing on hotmail accounts. Other that add an error to the activity monitor
