actually his reply was quite valid in my opinion. if you are having problems accessing your hotmail through an email client, then why are you still using hotmail? firstly, it's owned by microsoft, and their stuff is usually bollocks and/or comes with strings attached, and secondly, the service on this email account is clearly rubbish compared with many others, so why not take the advice of Annorax that JanusChrist poopooed and get a real email account so you can use it on your newly acquired real email client.
Gmail is my best recommendation for a free one, so i agree with e7ement. 1GB inbox space, and secure pop3 access...
the only issue is you have to get an invitation to open an account from somebody who already has one. i have one, and i have ten invitations to use up, so write to me at calumcarlyle AT gmail DOT com if you want me to send you one.

Here is a link to get a gmail account. It took about a day to get a response.

I agree, hotmail sucks.
Microsoft has done something and now I can't even use kopete with msn messaging service.
The only reason I even got a hotmail address in first place was because they required a hotmail address to get a passport login for their messaging service.
This does it for me; I'm dropping hotmail entirely.
I use my gmail for mail anyway.
Calum:
well i found out that you can have any email address as your msn passport id. i still use gaim for chatting to msn messenger users, and my login is an @fuckhotmail.com address.

Don't use MSN and use social-emotional blackmail to make your friends migrate
Simpily claim for a month in advance that you will not use MSN Messenger anymore. When your friends say "OMGGG HOW AM I GOINGG 2 TALK 2 U!!!11oneone", then say "Well, you can still talk to me on Yahoo. I guess a lot of people will stop talking to me, but if I am not worth that effort to communicate with then I dont want to know them anyway".
This has problems: It only works with women, and girly men. However real men will be using other protcols and gaim anyway, so why the bother.
