Ooooh, that's a pickle. Using Hotmail with an e-mail client is a one way
street. You can use Hotmail to access and check a POP/SMTP account (like at
readmail.com) but because Hotmail uses a secure server there is no way that I
know of to check it from your client. HOWEVER, if you go to  
www.winfiles.com, and do a search for 'hotmail', you'll find that there are
several programs written with the express purpose of allowing you to check a
hotmail account outside your web browser. You might be looking for one of
those, hmm?
