Microsoft hasn't offered POP3 and SMTP access for years... but if you've had your account prior to 1999, you can supposedly try the following:

pop3.hotmail.com
smtp.hotmail.com
pop3.live.com
smtp.live.com

I haven't used any of those. I simply set up Outlook to use HTTP Mail to download my Hotmail box to Outlook. However, I've also had my account prior to 1999, so those options may not work for you.

The official word from Microsoft: link

 

i dont think they do pop3 access anymore

[edit] oh well i must be wrong

 

just realised my outlook is set to HTTP, ive had my account since early 1999. i'm trying to get my email onto my N95.

No, not wrong at all... I'm not convinced those pop3/smtp settings work, since Microsoft says they don't do POP3/SMTP anymore.

 

I've got five Hotmail accounts running under Outlook 2007 - but via HTTP, not POP3.

That said, I have had 'em for nearly ten years!

I heard that MS wouldn't allow Hotmail accounts registered after a certain date (can't remember the exact ones) to be accessed via POP3 or HTTP, so you may be out of luck depending on when you registered the account.

 

i've got a gmail account but i'm trying to get my hotmail to work as all my important mail goes there. the only other option on the phone is through IMAP ?

I have Hotmail in Outlook 2007 through http but I can also access it on my N95 (which by the way is the dogs dangly bits!).
