You can. I know it because ive used the Perl Net::SMTP module with my college's SMTP host, using my coolege's email username and password. I just don't know if Microsoft will let anyone do that with theirs, even if it is through your own account. They might block such an attempt you can only try it and see.
javax.mail.Session has this method:
"setPasswordAuthentication
public void setPasswordAuthentication(URLName url,
PasswordAuthentication pw)Save a PasswordAuthentication for this (store or transport) URLName. If pw is null the entry corresponding to the URLName is removed.
This is normally used only by the store or transport implementations to allow authentication information to be shared among multiple uses of a session."
The URL I imagine would the URL of the actual SMTP server, so if you knew the name of that..(i think if you used a outlook, or outlook express with your hotmail, it would have the SMTP address in the settings somewhere)
Having said that, if you can use hotmail with outlook/outlook express, then you can use it with any mail program provided you know the URL to use.
