I've replied to this in demon.ip.support.newuser. If you want to post the same question to more than one newsgroup, please cross-post it (type both newsgroup names on the same line) rather than posting separate articles.

Hotmail uses an unpublished proprietary protocol.

In the good old days, before Microsoft bought Hotmail, Hotmail operated a standard POP3 mail server as an alternative to using the Web interface. That was dropped by Microsoft who dislike standard protocols :-( Regards, Mike. -- Solaris on Intel: http://www.kempston.org/solaris/
