The POP problem with hotmail is the fact that hotmail doesn't provide 
POP3 or IMAP4 service. It's a webmail service, period.

There used to be a protocol whereby you could access your hotmail 
account using a proprietary protocol built into OE (and *only* OE, no 
other MUA had it), but they shut that down.
