Wasn't pop3-access with hotmail only for paying customers?
I recall that only a few email clients (like the default outlook express) had the possibility to fetch webmail through http and
thus supported email-download from hotmail.
Copy-paste from: http://hotwayd.sourceforge.net/about
Ever wanted to access your hotmail.com, msn.com, lycos.co.uk, lycos.it, lycos.nl, lycos.es, lycos.ch, lycos.de, lycos.at and spray.se emails using Linux (or another Unix variant) without having to battle with the web interface?
It is now possible using hotwayd in conjunction with your favourite POP3/SMTP implementing mail reader (and soon also possible using IMAP4). Hotwayd allows you to do this by using the HTTPMail protocol, the same protocol that Outlook[tm]/OE uses, to access the hotmail or MSN servers. HTTPMail is based on WebDAV, and is a way to access remote resources using simple HTTP requests (which means that you can also access your HTTPMail server behind a proxy server!).
