POP3 Availability in Windows Live Hotmail
This solution article will give you information about the free POP3 feature made available to Windows Live Hotmail users.
Some time ago, Windows Live indicated that they were working on implementing free POP services for Windows Live Hotmail. The time has come and we are glad to announce that we have begun rolling out free POP3 services to all Windows Live Hotmail users. Since Windows Live Hotmail spans such a large infrastructure, we need to turn this on in a controlled manner. We have decided that it would be most appropriate to bring our users on by country. This will allow us to slowly ramp up the new POP services and expand to the infrastructure.
As part of Phase 1, we have rolled this feature out to all free users in the following countries:
UK, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Next Phases are still in planning and US will be included in Phase 2 which is targeted sometime in the month of February. We will be updating this solution article with more specific dates as we get closer to the migration.
What this means?
Users registered in the countries mentioned above will be able to use the POP services for free and will not require a subscription to do so.
What should you do?
Since the change would be made in the background, users don't have to take any action to migrate their accounts to free POP service. We request users in other countries not to change their country settings in their profile as this will be based on the combination of the country in their profile and IP of the country that you login with.

Yep. That's where most of my spam and dealings with other companies go.
I also have several Gmail accounts for specific uses.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
Cool. They have the verbiage stating it has to paid for still:

Why would they?
I know this is out of order, but I couldn't wait.
Why would they?
Because it's free email?? Perhaps I'm just missing something. Although I don't use it anymore, because I switched to Gmail for the iPhone support... I did use it for the longest time.I know this is out of order, but I couldn't wait.

I've been a beta tester and have been using the Hotmail (LiveMail) POP email for a couple of months now and it works well on the native iPhone mail client.
