As it turns out, having a hotmail plus account does not give POP3 access. Technical support wrote me an email saying:

Dear Tyler,

Thank you for writing to Windows Live Hotmail Technical Support. My name is Celeste and I gather that you need to know the POP3 and SMTP server of your account. I understand how important it is to have your concern addressed immediately and I sincerely apologize for not responding to you sooner.

Currently, accessing through POP3 setting has been discontinued for Windows Live Hotmail Plus accounts. However, you can still continue accessing your account using an e-mail client such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express through HTTP service. Here is a link that can provide information so that you can set up your account:

You are valuable at Windows Live, and we look forward to providing you with consistent and effective service. We appreciate your input and involvement in our Windows Live products.

Sincerely,

Celeste G.

So it looks like the only way to do this is through izymail.
