Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Looking at your issue, I believe that this is not a bug report, but a help question, so I am converting it to a support request in the support tracker.

We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs.

On the topic of your question, I believe that Hotmail accounts can be accessed using POP3, but I'm not sure of the details. Maybe that will give you a place to start looking, though. Best of luck with getting everything set up!

Hotmail POP3 settings are found at http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F92775FC46A390CA!171.entry

Can you help with this problem?
