POP3 will let you check your mail thru outlook(express) and similar e-mail software.

BTW: Hotmail is POP3 accessible.

Hotmail does not use POP3. It uses some proprietary HTML interface for Outlook Express.

How do you set up the pop3 for hotmail?

 

[vi edit]

"tools" -> accounts -> new mail

choose "existing address"

plug in hotmail addy

outlook express configures it from there
