Email Service with HTTP Server access like Hotmail

Does anyone know of any e-mail serivce that offers HTTP server access in Outlook or Outlook Express?

Hotmail offers this. When you go to set up your mail account in Outlook, you can choose either POP, IMAP or HTTP. Hotmail is the only service I know of that offers this. Does anyone know of any other?

I'm behind a firewall and cannot access POP or IMAP servers. HTTP seems to work fine however. I dislike webmail and I dislike Hotmail so I find myself in a bit of a conundrum.
 
What do you dislike about webmail and hotmail?

Here are two free webmail options:
Yahoo! - 100MB
GMail - 1000MB

Or register a domain and install IlohaMail as seen here
 
Hey RossMAN! I just don't like the useability of webmail. I much prefer using an email client like Outlook, OE or Thunderbird. But I can't get IMAP and POP servers through the firewall at work.

Hotmail and its HTTP server access does the trick. But I'm not too fond of Hotmail and its pricing structure. $20/year for 10MB of storage seems like a downright rip-off these days.

So I'm looking for something that I can access via Outlook but with a more palatable pricing structure for more storage.
 
You could use GMail + one of those pieces of software that allows you to access your account via a POP server running on localhost.

^ Guy above me has a link.

That was what I was afraid of...

I guess I just have to hope Microsoft decides to match Yahoo's recent changes to its service offerings and pricing structure.
