Available again. This was available years ago when I used Hotmail. For free indeed.
You can also use Windows Live for e-mail notification. I'm pretty sure Pidgin supports this as well.
And, POP3 sucks. Use IMAP4 already. Preferably over SSL. For SMTP support you must have the correct settings. Verify them.

IMAP is not always a option, nor is SSL, sadly...

But for so reason I can t send a mail; it says that there s a problem with smtp server; but I did everything right; I think.
Any idea?

Hotmail Live must have Ip specific software running as I had the same Error message as Unholyplayer when sending as I am in Cyprus at the moment but have a UK account. I switched over to my UK VPN on the tablet and the message was sent. Retrieving messages works from anywhere I think it's just the sending of messages that is IP specific.

But when using Bell as an ISP, the default port for SMTP doesn't work for some reason. I had to use 587 for the port number for my GMail account to send emails in both Thunderbird and Modest. When I got an error for Hotmail's SMTP after following the settings used on ArsTechnica, I tried port # 587 and it worked.

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

The situation is complicated in that Bell's newest email systems are run by Hotmail, so port 25 may get through to the standard Hotmail smtp servers. I think they still require TLS to be enabled for Bell accounts, and their implementation uses port 587 if I recall correctly.
As of today, pop3 is now available for free for hotmail (and live)!!!

For now, its only for United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
You guys from US will have to wait a bit
