When accounts were migrated from MSN Hotmail to Windows Live Hotmail, the idea was to make it look like and have some, if not all functions of Outlook or Windows Live Mail desktop.

Yes I would love it if the view in windows live web mail was almost if not exactly the same in windows live mail desktop, I think this would be a boon

@ compositor

Currently, only POP3 is available to Hotmail users. We'll update you if IMAP will soon be available.

Thank you for that enthusiasm, Warrio4! POP3 to standard/free Hotmail account would be a great help to many users.

About the automatic forwarding, there’s no news yet. I’ve forwarded your inquiry about this feature to our product team. This can be another great addition to standard/free Hotmail accounts.

That's great!

And are you planning to allow the automatic forward in a standard hotmail account to any email address? And not only to Microsoft addresses.

Thanks in advance for your answer

News does travel fast.

Yes, cebcubs, there is a plan on releasing POP3 to free Hotmail account users. However, we still do not have a definite date on when this will happen. We’ll keep everyone posted once the feature becomes available.

I read online that a few of the features of Hotmail Plus (namely, POP3 feature) will be available in early 2009. Does anyone know for sure if this statement is true?
