Hotmail POP3 access
According to
Softpedia.com
As of January 14, Windows Live Hotmail Wave 3 supports POP3 technology for a number of markets around the world including United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. Microsoft confirmed that, as an integral part of wrapping up the availability of Wave 3, Windows Live Hotmail would therefrom permit users to bridge the online email service with various POP3-enabled clients, either on desktops and laptops, or on mobile devices via Post Office Protocol version 3. “If you don’t see your country or region in this list, never fear, we’ll be rolling POP3 out to more parts of the world later this year,” a member of the Windows Live Hotmail team stated.
First off, the POP server needs to be pop3.live.com (port 995), while the SMTP server is smtp.live.com (port 25). Users will have to provide their full Windows Live ID (username@hotmail.com), and then the password that they have associated with the account. They have to bear in mind the fact that the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 service must use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) both with the POP and SMTP connection, as well as take advantage of SMTP authentication. Thus, users will have to specify that POP SSL and Authentication are indeed required, with the same being valid for TLS/SSL.
I just tried it and its working for me :)
