Yup! If you're in one of the countries listed in the pages djmaniak777 linked to; <http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!32413.entry> <http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions/settings/archive/2009/01/13/pop3-availability-in-windows-live-hotmail.aspx> <http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions/settings/archive/2009/01/06/send-and-receive-windows-live-hotmail-emails-from-a-mail-client.aspx> Hotmail is now giving free POP3 access. It doesn't matter what email client or operating system you use you can get your Hotmail without any extra software. I'd guess that some people behind corporate firewalls may still need the extensions, just as some people need them for Gmail. As Hotmail roll this out worldwide, we'll all be able to read our Hotmail in any email client of our choice.
