Hotmail, and Gmail are primarily webmail accounts.
Windows Mail cannot access any webmail account. It can only access POP3 and
IMAP accounts.
The newer Windows Live Mail can access POP3, IMAP and Hotmail/Live accounts.

MS recently added POP3 access to Hotmail/Live accounts from most countries.

Gmail offers POP3 and IMAP access.
