But you can't check hotmail with a POP3 service; Hotmail doesn't support POP3...
And I can't find anything (recent) about Premium supporting POP3 either.
^^ looking further into this as we speak... erm... post...

Update 2: MSN Premium accounts with @msn.com .NET Passport can use the following server:
POP3: pop3.email.msn.com
SMTP: smtp.email.msn.com
from other various sources
quote:
POP3 = pop3hot.com
SMTP = mx1.hotmail.com
and others:
POP3: mail.pop3hot.com
SMTP: mail.pop3hot.com
And many other posts which all contradict eachother (some posts tell you it works, others tell you it doesn't)... Although, I can't find anything official related to POP3 and Hotmail (Premium), which is very strange if Hotmail Premium would support POP3.

Nope, the problem is that the MSN browser is your default browser as tralala stated in her post. MSN tends to use IE when you click links..
Indeed
Blaxez, MSN Messenger uses your default browser (when the browser is reconized by MSN Messenger that is) to open your mails with. So if you want to use MSIE for that, you need to set MSIE as your default browser.
