Hotmail is a website, not a mail server. You can't use a normal mail program 
with it. However the browser (Konqueror, Netscape or Mozilla) should work 
easily.

With a normal email client, mail is transferred from a mail server using the 
pop3/imap4 protocols, and TO the server via the smtp protocol. Hotmail 
doesn't use any of these. It just provides a web interface which you can use 
with your browser. Microsoft uses a proprietary ("secret") protocol to 
transfer the messages to/from the hotmail server in Outlook Express.
