I'll second that, although new "free" hotmail accounts
don't support Hotmail HTTP protocol. However, old accounts
(and I believe paid accounts) still do.
Nice to see G-mail support (not tried it yet).

freepops is a pop3 gateway (unix/windows) that can speak with gmail.com hotmail.com lycos and others. simply install and make all your mmm checks against it at localhost.

freepops works like a dream, although it did require the
hotmailfix to work with my new free account(details on
their website).
had to edit the "fpm.ini" file to make it start up MMM
I didn't find it the easiest thing to install, so to save
others a bit of time - when installing freepops to work
with MMM and hotmail, do the following steps:
1) Install freepops (*see note below)
2) download the pdf manual
3) edit "fpm.ini" (in notepad) so that it has the following
in it:
100
C:\Program Files\MMM\Magic.exe
Magic.exe
(use the correct path to Magic.exe)
4)download the "fixed" vesion of "hotmail.lua" and
overwrite the one in the "LUA" folder
5) Create a link to "freepopsd.vbs" (in the FreePOPs
install folder)
6) Create a new mailbox in MMM with:
a) your full hotmail address as the User
b) "localhost" as the Host
c) enter your hotmail password
d) set the POP3 port number to 2000
The link to "freepopsd.vbs" will now start freePOPs which
in turn will start MMM. Exiting from MMM will also shutdown
FreePOPs.
Whilst FreePOPs is running, any other POP e-mail client can
access it, so simply use the same mailbox settings as you
used in MMM and you can download from hotmail with your pop
client.
*Note - to install Freepops under Win98, you may need to
install wmi9x.exe (Windows Management Instrumentation) and
Windows9x-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe - WSH (Windows
Scripting Host for Win98)
Details about this are in the "README.FPM.en.txt" file in
your FreePOPs instalation folder
