I found this tip on http://www.pclinuxonline.com/ I believe it is the solution you want for reading emails at Hotmail.com.
BTW - Hotmail.com does not support pop3. The server used for Outlook Express is an HTTP server with the address of http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp Won't work in Kmail Look for a file called *prefs.js* in your *.mozilla* directory Open the file with a text editor Place the following line at the bottom of the file *user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/9.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0 ; Windows 98 )");* Save the file and restart Mozilla.
