Unfortunately not - Hotmail doesn't use standard protocols for reading
and writing email (POP3/IMAP4/SMTP) and, I believe, is _completely_
proprietary. At various times there've been attempts (elsewhere) to
set up facilities to access it with POP3 gateways and similar, but
these've been rendered inoperable by Microsoft :/
