Asfar as i know hotmail doesn't support pop3 anymore unless you have a premium account.

You can connect your outlook with hotmail thrue HTTP. It's quite self explainatory, Just typ in your hotmail adress and the outlook wizard will automaticly select the right settings for hotmail
Edit: That's how i'm connected (with a free account)

Also, Outlook doesn't connect to hotmail via http, but via their own protocol (can't remember it's name atm..
). The URL you'll see in the properties in Outlook for hotmail doesn't mean it is simply html though...

Well, I have an MSN account (xxx@msn.com). But, I can't use my account through Office Outlook now. When I'm trying that shows "payment requirs".

Isn't it possible to use a hotmail popper to help you with this?

It never worked for me , it always said i had no mail
RE: Hotmail POP3 Settings by mad_onion on 04-10-2005 at 06:29 PM
no i found that was a rubbish program never worked for me. it is annoynig that they are blocking them all from outlook but i guess it costs too much money

I really think that hotmail may have to lose a little of this revenue and extend into the POP3 areas. They need a way to try and compete with the likes of Gmail and Yahoo! and downsizing features certainly isnt the way to do it in my opinion

Hi I just wanted to let you know that if you were using your account in 2004 your account will have access to the HTTP services even if you have a free account, but make sure your account was active all the time. I contacted Microsoft about this issue and they agreed with that statement. 
Hoped That Helped,
