They are slowly rolling in POP3 in a by country manner eg they probably want to keep milking! Here is message from Microsoft this month (Feb) Some time ago, Windows Live indicated that they were working on implementing free POP services for Windows Live Hotmail. The time has come and we are glad to announce that we have begun rolling out free POP3 services to all Windows Live Hotmail users. Since Windows Live Hotmail spans such a large infrastructure, we need to turn this on in a controlled manner. We have decided that it would be most appropriate to bring our users on by country. This will allow us to slowly ramp up the new POP services and expand to the infrastructure.
Currently some of Europe, US and SA are done but not Australia and New Zealand just keep waiting!!!
