Freepops does that (and a lot more) - but it's not written in Python, 
it uses LUA.

It puts a POP server on top of the webmail, letting you use your 
favorite mail program.

The Hotmail plugin works perfectly for me.

 There's a perl project called gotmail that will do the scraping
 to dump in a local mailbox file (I don't remember whether it's MH
 or mbox format).  You can snag it at

 http://gotmail.sf.net

 Thus, there's evidence that Hotmail can be scraped, but it seems
 they have a never-ending battle against Hotmail, trying to keep
 up with changes.

 I don't know of any Python projects doing the same sort of thing.
   It might not be too hard to port the Perl project over to
 Python, but one would be an extra level removed from scraping
 Hotmail, playing catchup not only with Hotmail, but then porting
 the latest fixes from Gotmail.

 There are a couple other Hotmail-to-mbox scrapers I've heard of,
 but haven't tried.

Not true:

You need to pay for that, but they do offer pop.

And receiving hotmail (or any outher webmail) using scraping techniques is a
daunting task, to say the least - you should forget about that IMHO.

I know this isn't technically helping, but why use hotmail when gmail
is so much better and gives you pop access? Even old yahoo gives you
pop access to your mailbox
