... as far as i know you can't.
this is one of the main reasons why i cancelled my hotmail adress:
as per usual for microsoft, hotmail is full of little bonuses like the fact that you can only use outlook, or, of course, read your mail online in your browser. (ie naturally, what else could one use?)
microsoft, for some reason, will not part with what they seem to consider terribly valuable information: the adress of hotmail's pop server ...
i tried phoning microsoft's hotline, i mailed the hotmail contact adress, i contacted a friend who used to work for mr. gates and his marvelous company ... to no avail: you either use outlook or get lost as far as hotmail is concerned.
very annoying, but typical.
incidentally this also applies to my girlfriend who is on an old performa box and can't run the new version of outlook ... she can't download her mails.
if anyone knows a workaround, please let us know ...
