I really have no clue how it is nowadays, but I got this to work when it was still hotmail.com and Qmail...

Taken from http://email.about.com/od/windowsliv...pop_access.htm

To access a Windows Live Hotmail Plus account in any desktop email program:
Create a new account using the following settings:
POP (incoming) server: pop3.live.com
POP port: 995
POP SSL required: yes
POP user name: your complete Windows Live Hotmail address (including "@hotmail.com", "@live.com", etc.)
POP password: your Windows Live Hotmail password
SMTP (outgoing) server: smtp.live.com
SMTP port: 25
SMTP SSL required: yes
SMTP authentication: yes
SMTP user name: your full Windows Live Hotmail email address
SMTP password: your Windows Live Hotmail password
You might find a better or more accurate source via Google. Look especially at the date the article/howto was written or last modified.
